In his first double up Lev Rofman had Allen Cunningham dominated preflop with A-Q against A-3. The board flopped a queen and that was all Rofman needed to stave off elimination.

The board obliged, running out 10Club Suit6Club Suit3Diamond Suit9Diamond SuitKSpade Suit, and a pair of tens evened up the chip counts at 1.2 million a piece for the final two competitors.
