After a flop of Club AClub 3Spade 2, Alen Bakovic checks from the big blind, and Zoltan Kovacs bets 22,000 from the hijack. Damir Matic moves all in from the button for 41,000, Bakovic calls, and Kovacs thinks for a while before he folds.

Matic shows Spade ASpade 7 for a pair of aces, but Bakovic turns over Spade 3Diamond 3 for a set of aces. Matic needs to catch something runner-runner to stay alive.

The turn card is the Club 4, giving Matic a gutshot straight draw, but the river card is the Heart 9. Bakovic wins the pot with his set of threes to eliminate Matic in 15th place.

Alen Bakovic  –  515,000  (129 bb)
Damir Matic  –  Eliminated
