Alexander Dovzhenko opened with a raise to 80,000 from middle position, and the action came around to the blinds. In the small, Ad Schaap moved all in for 349,000, and Dovzhenko made the call to put his opponent's tournament life in jeopardy.

Showdown
Dovzhenko: {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{J-Spades}

Schaap:

{A-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

The board would run out safe for the Dutchman: {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

. His aces up are good enough for a much-needed double up, moving Schaap to 746,000 just as the first break approaches.
