Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante
Michael Plesa
Michael Plesa

Under the gun, Antonio Vargas opened to 1,000,000. Michael Plesa on the button shoved all-in for 2,650,000. Kai Cohen, in the small blind, got out of the way. Kartik Ved started counting his chips and apologized that he had not counted his chips since the last hand.

After making the count, he shoved all-in for 17,600,000, pushing Vargas out of the hand and taking himself and Plesa to showdown.

Michael Plesa: KQ All in
Kartik Ved: AJ

Plesa got on his feet expecting the worse. The flop came 74A pushing Ved further ahead. The K turn dropped, giving Plesa a glimmer of hope, but the 2 fell on the river, sending him to hit the rails.
