Level 25
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Markus Garberg raised to 80,000 and then called the three-bet shove by Chris Backhouse for 770,000 in the small blind after some hesitation.

The 
board gave both players some back door outs but the 
turn and 
river ensured the split pot.
Nevan Chang then opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Garberg called in the big blind. The Norwegian check-called for 55,000 on the 
flop and check-folded the 
turn when facing a second barrel for 235,000.
