Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Santhosh Suvarna opened the action with a raise to 180,000 in middle position. It then folded to Daniel Negreanu on the button, who three-bet all in for 670,000. The small blind folded, and Samuel Mullur in the big blind four-bet all in for his stack of 885,000. Suvarna gave it some thought before mucking his hand to leave the players heads up, with Negreanu at risk.

Samuel Mullur: Q♥Q♣
Suvarna reviled he folded the same hand as Negreanu, eliminating one of his outs. But when the board ran out 2♣J♠A♥K♦4♥ Negreanu still found an ace to secure the double up.
