Paul Runcan opened to 120,000 from the hijack, Serhii Tarnakin three-bet shoved for 880,000 from the small blind and Runcan called with a covering stack to put Tarnakin at risk.
Serhii Tarnakin: A?K?
Paul Runcan: 7?7?
Both players connected with the A?Q?7? flop but Runcan was well ahead with bottom set leaving Tarnakin drawing only to running cards. Tarnakin was drawing dead by the 9? turn and after the Q? river he made his exit from the tournament area while Runcan dragged in a sizable pot.
