Level 33 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Aditya Sushant opened with a 625,000 bet and got a three-bet from Harold Harvey on the button to 2,000,000. After a few seconds, Sushant shoved all-in for around 16,000,000. Harvey, with around 5,000,000, snap-called risking his tournament life.

Harold Harvey: Q♦Q♠ All in
Aditya Sushant: J♠J♦

Harvey was ahead and was looking at a potential double up when the flop came 7♦9♠8♥. The flop evoked an "Oh no..." from Harvey as it gave Sushant more outs with a gutshot straight draw. The turn K♣ sustained Harvey's lead.

He finally sighed in relief when the river brought the Q♥, improving his hand to a set and securing his much-needed double up.
