Level 23: 10,000/20,000 (20,000)
Entries: 287/5,799

Luca Catalin jammed his stack of 285,000 from the cutoff and was looked up by Mathias Jordi from the button.

Luca Catalin: 9♥9♦
Mathias Jordi: A♣K♦

Both players would normally see the 7♥9♣K♠ flop as a good one. However, despite flopping top pair, Jordi needed a pair of runners to eliminate Jordi who flopped the middle set.

Catalin’s double was secure with Jordi drawing dead on the Q♠ turn and the double-up was official after the J♠ river completed the board.

Meanwhile, Madis Ormisson, Luigi D’Alterio, and Ilie-Ionut Ababei all hit the rail in the opening moments.

Luca Catalin – 620,000
Mathias Jordi – 360,000
