Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Evgenii Sboev raised to 30,000 in middle position and Apoorva Goel called on the button. Khossein Kokhestani then three-bet to 135,000 in the cutoff and Sboev folded, but Goel moved all in for 353,000 and Kokhestani snap-called.
Apoorva Goel: Q♣J♣ 
Khossein Kokhestani: A♥K♥
Goel remained behind going to the river on a board of 9♠4♠6♦10♠, but he spiked the Q♦ on the river to make a pair and earn a double up.
