Mitja Rudolf: A♥3♥

Aleksandar Tomovic opened to 2,600, and received calls from Leo Worthington-Leese and Jose Valls in the blinds.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Around 23,000 was in the middle on a board of K♠6♥Q♣9♦ in a hand between Robin Ylitalo in early position and Fabrice Maltez in the big blind.

Maltez checked and Ylitalo fired out a bet of 20,000. Maltez looked suspicious and took a good two minutes, eyeing his opponent, before open folding Q♠9♣ for two pair. Ylitalo showed A♠A♦ for a pair of aces and took the pot.
