Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Heller checked again and Le bet 2,700. Prasanna threw out two T5,000 chips to raise it up, prompting a fold from Heller before Le quickly three-bet all in for Prasanna's last few remaining chips. Prasanna called and hands were tabled.

Swami Prasanna:
Nghia Le:

Le's flopped two pair was out in front of Prasanna's top pair, top kicker and he was poised for the double. However, the river counterfeited Le's queens and sixes and left Prasanna's ace kicker to play with both players' queens and sevens to score him the double, leaving Le with just 6,500 remaining in the process.
