Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 1,500 ante

Action was caught on the flop with a board of Q♦4♣3♣ with David Mzareulov all in for about 25,000 and Danny Chang's nearly equal short stack all in and at risk versus Chezz Romero who had them both well covered.

David Mzareulov: A♣J♣9♠9♥
Danny Chang: 8♠8♣6♦5♦
Chezz Romero: K♣K♠8♥7♣

Romero had the best made hand with his kings, but he would need to fade Mzareulov's nut flush draw and Chang's open-ended straight draw.

The turn was the K♦, giving Romero a set of kings, but Chang now added a flush draw.

The river brought the Q♣, giving Romero a full house to eliminate both opponents just before the break.

In a three-bet pot with approximately 45,000 in the middle, Chezz Romero checked the K♦Q♦4♠ flop in the hijack. Michael Kuney checked back in the cutoff.

On the 4♣ turn, Romero bet 25,000 and got a call from Kuney.
