Level 17 : 0/0, 50,000 ante

Rui Cao raised to 400,000 from the hijack with the {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs} and Jason Koon three-bet to 1,300,000 with the {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} on the button. Cao folded and the pot was shipped to Koon.

Cao limped the {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and Ivey called with the {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, Koon raised to 550,000 with the {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs} and just Ivey called. Both players checked the {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop and the same applied for the {7-Spades} turn.
