Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
The hand began when Vincent Frigeria shoved from early position for 148,000. He was called for less by Rene Chave in the cutoff for 76,000, and Bruce Webb called with both players covered.
Rene Chave: Q♠Q♣
Vincent Frigeria: J♠J♣
Bruce Webb: A♦K♠
Frigeria went into the runout in the roughest shape of the three players, but the 8♠5♥J♦ flop gave him a set of jacks to leap into the lead.
The 9♦ turn was an inconsequential card, but the Q♥ river was just what Chave needed as it gave him a set and the winning hand. Chave won the main pot, and Frigeria was awarded the side pot to stay alive.
