Sigmund Anderman opened the hijack before the cutoff three-bet. Anderman then four-bet to around 120,000 and the cutoff called.
On the J♥6♥3♥ flop, Anderman immediately jammed for his remaining 122,000 and his opponent sigh-called.
Sigmund Anderman: A♥A♦
Cutoff: Q♠Q♦
It was a cooler scenario with Anderman having the best of it with aces and a heart. The board ran out 10♥J♠ as Anderman improved improved to the nut flush to drag the biggest pot of the day thus far.
The field is down to 23 players with 19 cashing.

Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
With 20 players remaining and 19 being in the money, play will continue hand-for-hand until another player is eliminated.
Ian Steinman opened to 16,000 from under the gun before the small blind jammed for 37,000 and Steinman called.
Small Blind: 6♠6♦
Ian Steinman: 9♠7♣
"Barely a flip," joked Steinman as the cards were tabled.
The 5♦3♣2♦ flop was safe for the at-risk player as was the K♠ turn. However, the 9♥ fell on the river as the player hit the table in frustration and the remaining 19 players celebrated making the money.

Level 11: Blinds 2,000/3,000
Four-ways to the turn with the board reading 5♦3♥2♣8♦, the big blind led all-in for 35,000. A player from early position called all-in for less, and the hijack called the 35,000. In the cutoff, Ratu Caucau jammed for 127,500. The hijack would contemplate the decision for almost two minutes before he elected to fold.
Big Blind: 7♦2♦
Early Position: 6♥6♣
Ratu Caucau: 8♠5♠
Caucau was ahead with top two against a gutshot and the pair plus flush draw of the big blind. He was able to hold through the 7♠ river as he had the best two pair to scoop a big one.
