$3,500 Championship No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 26: 20,000/40,000/5,000 Ante

Sergii Baranov and Brian Altman were butting heads at the end of the last level and start right back up again when they returned.

Baranov called a three-bet by Altman before the 9d7h3d flop and Baranov immediately moved all-in. Altman called just as quickly and was ahead with KhKc againt Baranov’s flush draw, over-card AdQd.

The turn and river 4c5c were drama-free for Altman and Baranov was gone in 17th place for $18,075. Altman moved up to 7,100,000 and Bruce Kramer was moved to balance the tables.
