Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Wissam Gahshan opened up the action with a bet under the gun with A♠5♠ to 250,000 and it folded to big blind Hunter McClelland.

When he looked down he found K♠Q♠ and that was reason enough for him to three-bet to 750,000. It didn't take too long for Gahshan to give up on the hand as McClelland collected the chips.
