Ivan Baric was down to just 9,000 chips early on in the tournament, but since then has been sky-rocketing to the top of the leaderboard. In a recent hand, Baric opened from the hijack and was three-bet to 5,500 by the big blind. Baric made a four-bet to 11,000 and his opponent moved all-in for just shy of 20,000. Baric made the call and the two players tabled the same hand.

Baric: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

In what looked to inevitably be a chop pot, the flop came {q-Spades}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} and it was Baric with the freeroll on his opponent. The turn brought the {j-Spades} giving Baric a flush draw to win the hand outright. The river landed the {5-Spades} and Baric made the flush to eliminate his opponent.
