Connor Richards

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Sergio Aido opened to 200,000 from early position with 10♥10♦ and Ping Liu called on the button with Q♣J♣ as Sandeep Pallampati called in the big blind with J♠4♠.

Pallampati checked on the flop of J♥10♣4♦ and Aido continued for 300,000. Liu called and Pallampati raised to 900,000. Aido three-bet to 1,600,000 and Liu got out of the way as Pallampati four-bet all in for 4,000,000 before getting snap-called.

Sandeep Pallampati: J♠4♠
Sergio Aido: 10♥10♦

Pallampati was in big trouble as he had run his two pair into a set and the runout of 8♦7♥ confirmed his elimination in the first hand of the day.
