Vukovic Doubles; Chops After

Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mladen Vukovic was all in for 39,000 with the {a-Hearts}{a-Spades} and Tom Rafferty looked him up with the {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}. The board came {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} and Vukovic doubled.

He was then all in for 85,500 with {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades} against the {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} of Andrian Chin, who almost got there with running hearts on a {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{k-Spades} board.

In the meanwhile, Nurlan Boobekov lost the remainder of his short stack on the other table and departed, which reduced the field to the last 24 hopefuls.
