Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Espen Jorstad shoved for 18,000 from the cutoff and Igor Yaroshevskyy called on the button before Maksim Vaskresenski three-bet to 48,000 from the small blind. Yaroshevskyy called.

With Jorstad all-in, Vaskresenski bet 25,000 on the 2♦4♥4♣ flop. Yaroshevskyy called again.

The 10♣ came on the turn and Vaskresenski put out another bet, this time for 75,000. Yaroshevskyy thought it over briefly before sliding in the call.

After the 6♣ came on the river, Vaskresenski shoved for 128,500. Yaroshevskyy had slightly more chips than Vaskresenski, and after burning through three of his time extensions, opted to fold his hand.

Espen Jorstad: A♣9♠ All in
Maksim Vaskresenski: A♦K♠

Vaskresenski only had ace-high, but his king-kicker was better than Jorstad's nine-kicker, which meant Vaskresenski dragged in the pot and Jorstad was out.
