Level 23 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Weiran Pu opened to 700,000 on the button and Naohiro Matsuda three-bet to 1,200,000 in the big blind. Pu called.

Matsuda bet 400,000 on the flop of A♣K♥Q♥ and Pu called. Matsuda then moved all in for 1,725,000 on the 5♠ turn and Pu called.

Naohiro Matsuda: A♦A♠ All in
Weiran Pu: A♥2♥

Matsuda's set of aces stayed ahead as the 3♠ bricked off on the river to earn him a double.
