Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

With Igor Popyk sitting all in from the small blind, Alexandre Arnold and Brian Lesser checked the 9♥K♦2♦ flop.

Arnold led out for 50,000 from the big blind on the [3h turn, with Lesser calling from under the gun. Arnold fired again on the J♦ turn, sliding out a bet of 200,000.

Lesser let his hand go, and Arnold turned over 9♣8♥ for a pair of nines. Popyk tabled K♥2♥ for two pair, earning the main pot to stay alive.
