Level 31

Nathan Slater made it 310,000 from the button and Philip Joyce three-bet the small blind to 875,000. When it got back to Slater, he shoved for 2,675,000, and Joyce rechecked his cards before he quickly called.
Nathan Slater: A♥9♦ 
Philip Joyce: Q♠Q♦
Slater went from miles behind to miles ahead after the 8♦J♠A♠ flop, as he paired his ace. A 6♠ on the turn did give Joyce a flush draw, but the 3♦ river was a brick, which meant Slater survived.
