Vilela Doubles; Pienaar Thrives
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Gavin Sardini three-bet out of the big blind and Jamie Vilela called on the button before they got it all-in after the Q♦7♠4♦ flop with Vilela at risk.
Jamie Vilela: Q♥J♦ 
Gavin Sardini: A♦K♦
The 10♠ turn gave Sardini some more outs with the gutshot but the 6♣ river kept Vilela in contention.
Soon after on the same table, Stephen Courtney called a three-bet by Keenan Pienaar in the small blind and they headed to the A♣10♣8♣ flop. Pienaar continued for 25,000 and Courtney clicked it to 50,000, which Pienaar called.
After the 9♣ turn, both players checked and Pienaar called Courtney's bet of 75,000 on the 2♥ river. Courtney showed A♥J♣ but Pienaar had that pipped with the A♦Q♣.
