[user66118]

Level 29 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Andre Pateychuk raised to 160,000 under the gun, and it was the opening of the proverbial can of worms. Daniel Neilson reraised to 380,000 from the button, and Pateychuk popped it right back to 1.120 million total! Not to be outdone, Neilson shoved all in over the top, and Pateychuk instantly called all in to put himself at risk. The good news for the Russian was that he was well ahead.

Showdown
Pateychuk: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}
Neilson: {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}

Neilson had been caught with a dominated hand for the second time this level against Pateychuk, and the latter's Big Slick would hold strong once again. The board ran out {4-Hearts} {7-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} , and it's a huge chip swing. Pateychuk shoots to the top with more than 9.5 million, and Neilson has been absorbed into the pack with just about 3 million left.
