Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Cenk Nigbolu bet 45,000 from middle position on a flop of 10?10?8? and Elvin Hasanli called in the hijack.

The turn was the 7? and Nigbolu moved all in, having Hasanli's last 175,000 covered. Hasanli tanked for nearly two minutes before folding.

At the same time at an adjacent table, Damir Zhugralin and Fausto Tantillo saw a flop of 7?6?3?. Zhugralin then bet 11,000 from under the gun, Tantillo raised to 51,000 in the big blind, and Zhugralin called.

The turn was the A? and Tantillo slowed down and checked. Zhugralin then bet 20,000 and Tantillo called.

The 3? fell on the river and Tantillo checked again. Zhugralin moved all in for 145,000 and Tantillo gave the decision some thought before calling.

Zhugralin turned over 9?9?, but Tantillo had 10?10? to win the pot and send Zhugralin to the rail.
