Another Classic Race Underway
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Alexis Andre opened the action to 10,000 from middle position and received a three-bet from Lasse Hansen to 26,000. On his direct left, Simon Hajek moved all his chips into the middle. The action folded back to Andre, who folded his hand, and Hansen called.
Simon Hajek: A?K? 
Lasse Hansen: Q?Q?
Hajek’s tournament life was at risk as he needed to hit something to stay alive. However, the 5?9?7?9?8? board provided no help, and he exited the tournament.
