Livello 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The hijack shoved for 50,000, and the player on his left moved all in as well for 103,000. Dara O'Kearney was on the button and moved all in, covering both opponents. The big blind tanked for about a minute, before folding A♣J♥ face-up.

Hijack: A♠Q♠
Cutoff: 10♦10♠
Dara O'Kearney: Q♥Q♣

The flop of Q♦10♣5♠ connected with all three players, giving both the cutoff and O'Kearney a set, while the hijack flopped top pair. The 9♠ turn gave the hijack some life as he picked up a flush draw, but the 3♦ river was a brick.
