Andrian Reclaims the Chip Lead
Level 32
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Simone Andrian raised to 800,000 on the button and Urmo Velvelt three-bet to 3,600,000 from the big blind. Andrian called.
Velvelt checked the J♠2♥9♣ flop and Andrian checked behind. Velvelt checked again upon seeing the 8♥ turn, to which Andrian put out a bet of 3,800,000. Velvelt check-raised to 27,450,000, putting Andrian all in. Andrian used a time extension before he ultimately made the call.
Simone Andrian: J♦7♦ 
Urmo Velvelt: Q♣2♣
Andrian was ahead with top pair, but Velvelt had a lot of outs he could hit to end the tournament and become the 2024 WSOP Europe Main Event champion.
The dealer peeled of the 7♠ on the river, giving Andrian two pair, and propelling him back into the chip lead.
