Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Algirdas Saveikis shoved his stack of 300,000 from the small blind and Peter Jesko called out of the big blind.
Algirdas Saveikis :Q♦10♦
Peter Jesko: J♣10♥
Saveikis' queen-high was ahead as both players improved to top pair on the 6♥10♠8♣ flop. The rest of the runout came 9♣5♥, which was safe for Saveikis, and he doubled up through Jesko.
At another table, Quang Dinh three-bet jammed for 90,000 from the cutoff after Florin Bilan had min-raised out of the hijack. Bilan called and the players went to a showdown.
Quang Dinh: 10♦9♦
Florin Bilan: A♠7♣
Dinh''s suited connector ended up with a straight on the 6♦J♥Q♣K♥4♥ runout, keeping him alive in the tournament.
