Level 2 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Paul Newey opened to 2,500 in early position and Ossi Ketola three-bet to 7,000 on his left. Felipe Ketzer was in the small blind and shoved all in for 58,500. Kayhan Mokri pushed all in for 114,500 in the big blind which put Newey in the tank. After using his last three time extensions, Newey called off his stack of 111,500 and Ketola got out of the way.

Felipe Ketzer: K?K?
Paul Newey: A?K?
Kayhan Mokri: Q?Q?

The flop came Q?10?2? and Mokri took the lead with a set of queens. The turn brought the J? and Newey made a straight to take over the pole position. However, the 2? paired the board on the river and Mokri improved to a full house to eliminate both of his opponents.
