Runcan's Ace-King Redemption
Level 6
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Janne Nevalainen raised to 2,000 in the hijack with Q♠J♣. Paul Runcan looked down at A♠K♣ on the button, putting in a three-bet to 6,500 Nevalainen made the call, after which he check-called Runcan's bet of 3,500 on the 2♠A♥5♣ flop.
Nevalainen's float gained a purpose when he check-raised Runcan's bet of 11,000 on the 4♥ turn to 33,000. However, Runcan cooly three-bet jammed.
Nevalainen immediately released his queen-high. Runcan solidified his position as table chip leader while Nevalainen dove under the starting stack
