Level 28 : 50,000/100,000, 15,000 ante

Artur Koren

Artur Koren opened shoved for 1,650,000 from the hijack seat and Joe Cada was next to act in the cutoff. He put in a three-bet to 4,441,000 and everyone folded behind him, bringing the two to a showdown.

Joe Cada: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Artur Koren: {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}

The flop came down {J-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} which gave four extra outs to Koren as he could now hit a king for a straight. The turn was the {6-Hearts}, which brought no help.

The river was the {Q-Hearts}, though, and that gave Koren the win making him a pair of queens on the river to stay alive.
