Adam Owen: A♦Q♣

"Good call," said Torelli, when the cards were displayed. Then the board came 3♦K♣J♠ to give Torelli the lead. The turn was the 5♥. Torelli needed to avoid a ten to stay alive which he did when the K♦ came down to fill him up and create a big change in chips at the table.

Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Adam Owen opened from middle position to 1,100,000. Boris Kuzmanovic jammed out of the small blind for 8,325,000. Owen rubbed his head and shifted around in his seat while he thought for a few moments before turning over his cards and tossing in his chips for the call in a similar manner as he had done before.

Boris Kuzmanovic: 3♠3♥ All in
Adam Owen: A♠Q♥

It was a big flip as Owen had the same hand as the previous all-in he had been involved in. The flop came 5♣2♠J♠. The turn was the K♥ to give Owen an out to Broadway as well. The river came the Q♠ to bust Kuzmanovic and act as a much needed card for Owen who bounded back up the counts to stop his slide.
