Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Maxime Chilaud shoved from the small blind for 2,825,000 and Sergei Varnaev called out of the big blind to put him at risk.
Maxime Chilaud: K♠J♦
Sergei Varnaev: Q♠9♠
Chilaud was ahead but Varnaev had two live cards and had been running hot this level. The flop of 9♦2♣A♦ put Varnaev in the lead with a pair of nines. The Q♥ turn gave him two pair and could only lose to a ten on the river to give Chilaud a straight. The river came the 8♦ and Chilaud was out in third.
