An intriguing hand on table 20 took place just before the players went on break. Parminder Kandola had raised to 350k from under-the-gun, only for Daniel Mendoza in seat 6 to shove for his remaining 2.2m. Ivan Martinez in seat two went into the tank before declaring himself all-in Parminder seemed pained and thought for some time before folding.

The hands were flipped and Ivan had A♥A♦ versus Daniel’s optimistically shoved K♦Q♦.

The flop of T♥9♠2♦ left Ivan looking in a pretty strong but vulnerable situation as Daniel picked up a gutshot. The turn brought the Q♥ however the J♥ completed the gutter to bump Daniel up to to 5m chips.
