Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Enzo Enzo opened to 60,000 from early position, then Ilia Pavlov on the button three-bet all-in for 315,000. In the big blind, Stoyan Obreshkov went into the tank and eventually called, revealing A♠4♦ as he didn't see Enzo's open.

Knowing Obreshkov's hand, Enzo shoved and Obreshkov chose to fold.

Ilia Pavlov: 8♥8♠ All in
Enzo Enzo: 10♠10♣

On a board of 7♠4♥9♣J♠, both players found a straight draw, but the 9♥ river didn't change anything and Pavlov was eliminated.
