Level 36 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Jaehoon Baek opened to 1,200,000 from under the gun, and Preston McEwen made the call on the button while leaving just 300,000 behind.

Breno Drumond slid in a call in the big blind, and the A♦4♣J♥ flop was fanned out. Drumond checked to Baek, who continued for 600,000.

McEwen called off the rest of his chips, and Drumond also came along to the 10♣ turn. Drumond checked and got out of the way after Baek fired 2,200,000.

Preston McEwen: A♥J♠ All in
Jaehoon Baek: A♠A♣

Baek had flopped a set of aces, and the 4♥ river completed McEwen's exit in fourth place.
