Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Peter Galloway opened the action with an all-in from under the gun to 1,500,000. Siarhei Chudapal called from middle position for 800,000 to put himself at risk.

Peter Galloway: 7♣7♠

Galloway held the slight lead and the flop of K♣K♦6♦ kept Galloway's sevens in top position, but Chudapal gained outs with a flush draw. The 4♠ turn was not the texture Chudapal was hoping for, but the 10♣ was as it gave Chudapal a higher pair to stay in the tournament.
