Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Aksel Aygun was in the big blind in a heads-up pot against Andrei Vavilonskii in the cutoff on a board of 5?6?7?3?.

Aygun checked on the turn and called a bet of around 500,000 from Vavilonskii. Aygun checked again on the Q? river and Vavilonskii moved all in as Aygun considered calling off for his tournament life with a stack of around 2,500,000. After a few minutes in the tank, Aygun called.

There would be no roses for Aksel as Vavilonskii showed K?7? for a flush to beat out the Belgian's pair of threes with A?3? to send him out in 12th place.

"King-seven, you like this combo!" commented Roman Gadzhiev in reference to a four-bet pot from the previous level.
