Kaufman Jams Into Czuczor - Break

Level 34 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Marton Czuczor lost a smaller pot against Tuomo Niskanen and proceeded to lose a bigger one to Brian Kaufman shortly after.

Kaufman raised on the button to 700,000 and Czuczor called in the big blind. The {K-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} flop went check, check, and Czuczor bet the {3-Clubs} turn for 1.2 million, which Kaufman called. On the {7-Diamonds} river, Czuczor bet 2.1 million and Kaufman moved all in.

Czuczor asked for a count to see if he was covered and folded. Tuomo Niskanen won the final hand of the level and the remaining four players headed into a 10-minute break. They previously agreed to play another two levels and bag up if there has not been any winner crowned until then.
