Thomas Boivin raised to 60,000 under the gun, Jakob Miegel three-bet to 150,000 in the hijack, and Boivin called.

Level 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou and Elias Gutierrez were battling blind-on-blind and were on a flop of Q♣2♥5♣. With around 200,000 chips in the pot, Hissou checked to Gutierrez, who put in a bet of 65,000. Hissou then raised to 210,000 and Gutierrez made the call.

On the A♦ turn, Hissou checked once more, eliciting a bet of 180,000 from his opponent. Hissou put in the required chips before both players checked the J♠ river.

Hissou showed down Q♥J♥ for two pair and added some more chips to his stack when Gutierrez's cards were mucked.
