In the tail end of the previous level, Sam Greenwood raised to 20,000 from the cutoff before Paulius Plausinaitis three-bet all in for 246,000 from the small blind. Greenwood made the call and a showdown was had.
Paulius Plausinaitis: 10♥10♣
Sam Greenwood: 7♦7♣
No miracle seven appeared for Greenwood on the 8♠3♦J♥K♦K♠ runout and Plausinaitis secured the double up.
The very next hand, Greenwood went all in himself for the mere 18,000 chips he had left after the encounter with Plausinaitis. Quan Zhou called from the cutoff, as did Pablo Silva in the big blind.
The two active players checked the 7♠5♥7♥ flop, as well as the 6♠ turn. Silva checked once more on the K♦ river, seeing 25,000 from Zhou thereafter. Silva quickly folded and Zhou tabled K♠J♠ for rivered top pair.
However, Greenwood was sitting on a full house with his K♥K♣ and took the first step in his comeback story.
