Level 40
: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Eugene Tito raised to 4,500,000 from the button and Mircea Ionescu defended his big blind.
The flop came J?7?4?, Ionescu checked for Tito to bet out 5,000,000. Ionescu responded with a shove for 25,000,000 for Tito to jump into the tank. He got up from his chair, considered his options and then flicked in the chip for the call with the bigger stack.
Mircea Ionescu: 8?5? 
Eugene Tito: Q?J?
"Yes, picture cards!" Tito exclaimed when he saw Ionescu's hand.
The rest of the board was completed with the 4? on the turn and the A? on the river to keep Tito ahead and claim Ionescu's bounty. Ionescu kept sitting at the table for a while and then reluctantly made his way to the payout desk.
