Level 33 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Gerald Karlic raised to 1,100,000 with the A♦K♠ on the button, and Daniel Pidun called out of the big blind with the Q♦4♦. The Q♥6♦3♦ flop saw Pidun check-raise from 700,000 to 2,050,000, and Karlic called.

Pidun then bet the 2♥ turn for 4,000,000 for Karlic to call with his ace-king high. That led them to the 4♣ river on which Pidun improved to two pair. He moved all in for 13,000,000, and Karlic tank-called to see his lead slip away once again.

Gerald Karlic made it 1,100,000 to go with the K♣3♠, and Daniel Pidun came along with the Q♣8♦ out of the big blind. Both had a piece of the Q♠7♦3♥ flop and Pidun check-raised from 800,000 to 2,500,000 to pick up a call from Karlic.

Pidun jammed the J♥ turn for 12,150,000 after checking his cards, and Karlic asked for an exact count. No call followed, and Pidun stopped his recent rapid downfall.
