Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ricky "RatedGTO" Guan moved all in for 25,000 under the gun and Joe "Stapes" Stapleton isolated with a three-bet jam two spots over in the hijack. The rest of the players folded and the hands were turned up.

Guan: {a-Hearts}{2-Hearts}
Stapleton: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Guan had a kicker problem but he got lucky when the {3-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} flop delivered him two pair. Neither the {7-Diamonds} turn nor {4-Diamonds} river helped Stapes and he sent over nearly half his stack. He went bust a couple hands later.
