Level 17 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Aaron Duczak
Aaron Duczak

The flop read {q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Aaron Duczak checked in the big blind. The player on the button bet 30,000 on which Duczak raised to 125,000. His opponent responded with a shove immediately which Duczak quickly called.

Button: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Aaron Duczak: {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Duczak flopped top pair while his opponent hit the open-ended straight and flush draws. The board completed with the {4-Clubs} on the turn to give his opponent a flush, making the {3-Hearts} on the river just a formality.

After counting out their stacks, Duczak had 277,000 while his opponent had 256,000 behind.

The hand right after, the player on the button raised to 31,000 and Duczak looked at his cards in the small blind. He took some time and then flicked in the rest of the chips to call for the 21,000 he had in total. The big blind player took his time too but opted to fold in the end.

Aaron Duczak: {k-Clubs}{5-Hearts}
Button: {7-Spades}{5-Spades}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for his opponent to pick up the gutshot to a wheel but brick the turn and river so Duczak would more than double up to stay alive.
