Livello 16 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Since coming back from the break, Yuri Dzivielevski ramped up the aggression and kept adding chips. The largest pot of them all just came against Chad Eveslage when he fired three barrels.

That created a pot of more than one million to the K♠8♥2♣7♥3♠ river on which Eveslage in the big blind checked. Dzivielevski pulled the trigger and jammed, which eventually got through.

"I flopped a set," Dzivielevski said after the hand was all over with a big smile on the face.

Matt Glantz: A♠A♦J♥2♥
Ren Lin: K♦Q♠9♠6♣

The 8♦6♦4♥7♣3♠ board kept the aces ahead as Glantz doubled.
