Zektser Takes From Christ; Duran Falls
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Octaviano Duran raised to 65,000 from under the gun, and Igor Zektser three-bet to 240,000 in middle position, which Michael Christ in late position called. Duran responded by moving all in for 273,000 total and both of his opponents called.
The flop rolled out Q♣5♦3♠ and Zektser moved all in for 297,000, which Christ called.
Octaviano Duran: A♠8♦7♦4♠2♣ 
Igor Zektser: A♦A♥10♠7♣5♥
Michael Christ: A♣Q♦4♣4♥2♥
Both Duran and Christ shared the same open-ended straight draw, but neither of them improved on the 9♦3♥ runout, which left Zektser with aces up. Duran was eliminated while Christ's stack was cut down by more than half.
