Level 22 : 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Justin Bateson opened to 100,000 and got called by Eduardo Schneider. Pete Brankin moved all in for 284000 and both players called.

Pete Brankin: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Brankin was drawing dead with top pair against the set of Bateson. Schneider needed a queen and got it on the {q-Hearts} river to give him a straight and chip up to just under 900,000.
