Level 18

Punnat Punsri opened to 24,000 from the hijack, and Wing Po Liu three-bet the cutoff to 68,000. The action folded back to Punsri who four-bet to around 270,000, and left himself just a few chips behind. Liu then shoved for 266,000.
Wing Po Liu: J♣J♠ 
Punnat Punsri: K♦Q♦
Liu was the one at risk but this flip was vital for both players as Punsri would have been left extremely short-stacked if he lost. The board ran out in Liu's favor as his pocket jacks stayed in the lead 10♥5♥10♦4♦3♣ runout.
