Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

Paul Baksi raised to 7,000 from mid-position and was called by Albert Balayn in the small blind. Ethiel Garcia shoved from the big blind for 37,800 and Baksi contemplated his options for a while. In the end, Baksi shoved too. Balayn asked for a count and the dealer confirmed Bakso had 126,200 in total. Balayn took a few seconds, looked at his cards once more before getting out of their way.

Ethiel Garcia: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}
Paul Baksi: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The board ran out {4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Spades} for Garcia to hold with the bigger pocket pair to double up.
