Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of 8♠6♠3♥, Toni Kaukua bet 42,000 from early position. Anton Markov tanked for several minutes until he moved all in for 239,000. Kaukua snap-called.
Anton Markov: K♠J♠ 
Toni Kaukua: A♦A♣
Markov needed to complete his straight draw to stay alive and hit the 3♠ on the turn. Kaukua was already drawing dead by the Q♣ river and paid off Markov's double up.
