Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Claudio Lucchini saw action folded to him in the hijack and shoved his last 147,000 into the middle. He received action from Simon Brandstrom, who was on the button and covered Lucchini by just a few big blinds.

Lucchini pulled further ahead on the flop 
, flopping top set. However, the turn 
gave him a sweat to fade the straight draw that Brandstrom picked up. The river 
was safe, resulting in a fist pump as the amount to be sent his way was counted and committed from Brandstrom, leaving him with just 25,000 behind as Lucchini stacked his newly-earned chips to bring him over 300,000.
