Stankevics Denied Title by Rivered Chopped Pot
Level 33
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Krisjanis Stankevics opened to 600,000 from the button, and Guillermo Gordo defended the big blind.
On the A♥Q♣6♣ flop, Gordo check-raised to 1,000,000 versus a continuation bet of 500,000 from Stankevics.
After some thought, Stankevics called to see the K♥ turn. Gordo moved all in for 1,800,000, and after some time in the tank, Stankevics called.
Guillermo Gordo: J♣5♣ 
Krisjanis Stankevics: Q♠J♠
With the title up for grabs, Stankevics was ahead with third pair versus Gordo's flush and straight draws, while Stankevics also had a straight draw.
In unbelievable fashion, the 10♦ rolled off on the river to lead to a chopped pot.
