Level 24
: 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Shigeji Kusakabe shoved from the button for 1,810,000 and Ankit Ahuja snap-called in the small blind for Natalie Teh to quickly get out of their way.
Shigeji Kusakabe:
Ankit Ahuja:
The flop came for both of them to hit the straight immediately but for Ahuja to have the nuts with the Broadway but a king on the turn or river could mean a split pot.
The turn was the which didn't change things and neither did the on the river as Kusakabe was eliminated in 3rd place for ?2,809,000 ($54,936).
Ahuja and Teh were sent for a short break before heads-up play would continue.
