Level 21
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
All of the chips got into the middle between Don Matsuzuki in the cutoff and Zachary Grech, who was on the button, and the dealer was putting three cards onto the felt in preparation to spread the flop.
Don Matsuzuki: 
Zachary Grech: 
The runout came 
to give Matsuzuki aces up and earn him the double. His stack was counted to 345,000, and the two players more or less traded stacks as a result.
