Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Abdelrahman Moursy three-bet to 32,000 in the small blind, Vytautas Milbutas moved all in for 130,000 on the button, and Moursy called.

Vytautas Milbutas: 10♦10♠ All in
Abdelrahman Moursy: A♣A♠

"Ten," a tablemate yelled out.

"Ace," Moursy countered as the flop came A♥J♣9♠, giving him top set. The 8♠ fell on the turn and players around the table began calling for cards to make Milbutas a straight, but he missed the 6♦ river and was sent to the rail.

"Thanks for the support, guys," Milbutas said as he made his exit.

Kalidou Sow and Jozef Cibicek were heads-up on a flop of 2♠9♥3♦ when Cibicek bet 75,000 from early position. Sow called in middle position.
