Level 8 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Abraham Serrano limped in before Nazariy Piznak raised to 3,200 in the cutoff. Vitalii Melnychuk called on the button, but Serrano came back with a reraise to 16,000. Piznak quickly folded, but Melnychuk turned around and took a sip from his drink before moving all in for 52,000. Serrano took a few minutes to count out the chips to call before sliding them into the middle.

Vitalii Melnychuk: A♥K♥ All in
Abraham Serrano: A♣Q♥

Melnychuk had Serrano dominated and was poised for a double up as the flop came 10♠4♦2♣. The A♦ turn gave both players top pair, but Melnychuk's king-kicker continued to play after the 8♣ river to earn him the double up.
