Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Grant Juric jammed for 665,000 from under the gun and was called by Andjelko Andrejevic in middle position. After the action folded around, it was the two players heads up, with Juric at risk.

Grant Juric: A♣6♣ All in
Andjelko Andrejevic: K♥K♦

Juric would need help to stay in the tournament, and the Q♠10♣2♣ flopped did that by giving him a flush draw to go along with his ace as outs. The Q♥ on the turn removed two of Juric's outs, but the 5♣ was good enough to give him the ace high flush, and the double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Grant Juric	1,400,000 450,000	450,000
Andjelko Andrejevic	1,185,000 1,415,000	1,415,000
