Level 31 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Gediminas Uselis opened to 240,000 from under the gun. Action folded around to [Removed:451] who defended in the big blind.

The 8♥Q♣9♦ flop was checked around leading to the 7♣ turn. Al-Sayegh led out for 375,000 and Uselis made the call. On the 10♥ river, Al-Sayegh sized up to 650,000. Uselis went into the tank. The clock was called on him by one of his tablemates. The floor gave him a 30 second countdown which he used most of before finding the fold.

Al-Sayegh tabled A♦7♦ before taking the pot.
