Level 31
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Fabiano Kovalski Q♦10♦ raised to 300,000 in early positon. Andrew Hulme A♦K♦ three-bet to 1,700,000 from the button, leaving 1,080,000 behind. The action folded back to Kovalski, and the chip leader released his hand.
Kovalski K♥10♦ once again made it 300,000 and was called by Marius-Catalin Pertea 6♠3♠ defended his big blind. Pertea made two pair on the K♦6♣3♦ flop, while Kovalksi had top pair. Pertea check-raised to 900,000 over a bet of 275,000 and was called. The 7♥ turn kept Perta in front, and he moved all in for 1,950,000. Kovalski pondered briefly but made the correct fold.
