Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

With around 90,000 in the pot on a board of 5?J?8?3?, Igor Pihela moved all in for 56,000 from the hijack. Fabio Peluso tanked for a minute in the big blind before calling to put Pihela at risk.

Pihela showed A?9? for ace-high, while Peluso had 10?10?. The 4? river failed to improve Pihela and he was sent to the rail.
