The Action Picks Up

Level 29 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Pavao Veza raised to 325,000 with the {A-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Robert Vukovic defended the {K-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} in the big blind. The {J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop was checked through and the {3-Hearts} on the turn gave Vukovic an additional flush draw. He bet 525,000 with the king-high and Veza folded.

Vukovic raised with the {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts} to 375,000 and Marius Pertea called with the {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} in the big blind. On the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop, Pertea checked after having missed completely, and a continuation bet did the trick for Vukovic.

Veza raised to 325,000 with {Q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Pertea three-bet to 1.8 million with the {A-Clubs}{6-Clubs}. Vukovic had the {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts} and checked his stack carefully, spending three minutes in the think tank before announcing all in.

Veza quickly folded and Pertea spent an even longer time in the think tank and the clock was called on him after more than four minutes. Pertea folded and Vukovic jumped into the top spot narrowly ahead of Pertea.
