Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Several T-100,000 chips were already in the pot when Gunnar Wedde's 825,000 remaining chips went in from early position on the J?6?3?10? turn. His opponent was Marc MacDonnell, who had the covering stack and looked him up.

Gunnar Wedde: A?A?
Marc MacDonnell: Q?3?

Wedde was in the lead with his overpair, but MacDonnell had a pair and a flush draw for outs on the river. The 8? fell on the river and Wedde let out a groan as MacDonnell's flush draw came in.

He had no option but to collect his payout while MacDonnell soared in the ranks and grabbed the chip lead with a stack of more than 100 big blinds.
