Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Matas Cimbolas opened the hijack and was faced with a three-bet from Jun Obara on the button to 14,000. Cimbolas then four-bet and called the shove of Obara who had around 70,000 chips.
Jun Obara: 10♦10♠
Matas Cimbolas: A♥K♥
Cimbolas paired his ace on the 7♥A♣8♦ flop which left Obara with two outs.
Obara failed with his first chance as the 2♣ changed nothing, but was successful with the second as he improved to a set on the 10♣ river to keep him alive.
