On a board of 7♣ 9♠ 6♥, action was checked to the cutoff player who moved all in with his remaining 4k short stack. Paulsen went all in as well to isolate the player. The all in player had 7♥ 6♣ for two pairs but Paulsen had 7♦ 9♦ for higher two pairs. With the turn of Q♥ and river of 5♣, Paulsen claimed the pot and eliminated one in the process.
