fell on the turn. Liu again thought about his decision for a considerable time, before placing out a small bet of 13,000. Wong made the call, before the 
completed the board.

We’ve waited almost an hour, but the money-bubble has finally burst!
The action started with Vladimir Troyanolvskiy opening to 8,500 from the hijack, before Manuel Blaschke raised to 19,500 from the small blind. Troyanovskiy made the call as both players saw the flop come down 
. Blaschke then continued with a bet of 18,500, before snap-calling the all in bet from Troyanovskiy, with less chips behind.
Again, the two had to wait as the remaining tables played out their hands, before tabling their cards.
Blaschke:
Troyanovskiy: 
Blaschke was at risk but in front with his over-pair, but Troyanovskiy had many outs, which only improved when the 
fell on the floor. With many players crowding around, including the ones hanging on with short-stacks, the dealer produced the 
to give Troyanovskiy two-pair, sending the Austrian home, one short of the money.
