Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Jacob Perry shoved from the middle position for 2,900,000 and was called by Andreas Kniep on the button. Powen Fang three-bet to 6,500,000 from the small blind for the big blind to fold. Kniep tanked for a while and then made the call.

The flop came 2♣4♠Q♠, Fang continued with a bet of 3,500,000 and that was enough for Kniep to let his hand go so the cards could go on their backs.

Jacob Perry: A♠Q♥
Powen Fang: A♥J♥

Perry had flopped top pair. The rest of the board ran out with the 10♥ on the turn and the 3♣ on the river for Perry to hold and triple up.
