Wei Spikes Set of Queens, Pavlenko Brings it Back on River
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Yevhen Pavlenko and Guoliang Wei were in the midst of a raising battle and Wei had a reraise of 17,000 out in the middle. Pavlenko responded by moving all in for around 80,000 and Wei called. Players had quite similar stacks, but Wei was covered as the cards were turned.
Guoliang Wei: Q♦Q♥ 
Yevhen Pavlenko: A♠A♦
The flop came K♦Q♣7♦ and the table let out a collective groan as Wei spiked a set of queens. The turn was a blank, the 5♦, but the river was the A♣ to give Pavlenko a set of aces.
Wows and cheers came from tablemates as the situation reversed. Pavlenko won the pot and Wei was eliminated from the tournament as the final break of the day approached.
