Level 34
: Blinds 300,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Rajat Paliwal limped on the button before JC Tran made it 1,500,000. Paliwal went all-in and Tran snap-called to put himself at risk for 18,000,000.
JC Tran: J♣J♠
Rajat Paliwal: A♣3♠
Tran was in a prime position to take command of the heads-up match if he could fade the ace.
The flop came Q♠K♥6♣ to keep Tran well ahead.
The K♠ turn did not help Paliwal, and the 5♥ river sealed it in Tran's favor as he took a big lead in the match against Paliwal.
