Alexandru Lupuleac opened to 20,000 from the hijack, and Marle Spragg defended from the big blind.

The Q♣ completed the board, and Lupuleac had to use a time bank card to bet 110,000. A few seconds later, Spragg moved all-in with the biggest stack, and Lupuleac snap-called with his last 317,000 chips.
Alexandru Lupuleac: 9♣8♣
Marle Spragg: A♣10♥
