Level 19 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Nicholas Wright opened to 30,000 from under the gun and Joey Weissman three-bet to 80,000 on the button. Leonard Maue four-bet jammed all in from the small blind which got Wright to fold but Weissman quickly called off his stack of over 400,000.

Leonard Maue: Q♠Q♥

The flop came A♦10♦7♣ and Weissman took the lead with a pair of aces. The 5♣ on the turn changed nothing but the Q♦ on the river gave Maue a set of queens to eliminate Weissman.
