In Level 11 (800/1,600/200), Michael "J3Bl@ckP0pe" Gagliano raised from the hijack and then called Keith "donnysack" Donovan's 19,487 three-bet jam from the cutoff.

Keith "donnysack" Donovan: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Michael "J3Bl@ckP0pe" Gagliano: {a-Spades}{7-Spades}

Donovan was behind hoping to connect with his live cards but it was Gagliano who paired his ace on the {6-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop.

The {4-Spades} turn left Donovan drawing dead and he re-entered after the {k-Clubs} completed the board on the river.
