: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
After Punnat Punsri opened to 240,000 in the cutoff, Anatoly Nikitin and Joe McKeehen got their stacks into the middle from the blinds. Punsri folded and the hands were turned up.
Joe McKeehen: A♥Q♣ 
Anatoly Nikitin: A♣3♣
Nikitin had McKeehen slightly covered, and was left with less than one big blind after the 10♥J♥7♥5♣K♠ runout gave McKeehen the double.
