Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mirco De Martini had raised to 8,000 in early position and Oleksandr Filipchuk made the call in middle position. Mathieu Di Meglio then pushed all in for around 25,000 from the cutoff, after which De Martini reshoved.

Filipchuk's stack of 100,000 was covered by De Martini, and he thought it over for a bit before announcing, "bad call," as he slid his stack forward.

Mathieu Di Meglio: Q♥9♥ All in
Oleksandr Filipchuk: 3♥3♦ All in
Mirco De Martini: A♣9♣

Filipchuk's threes remained ahead on the 8♣8♥6♣5♦ runout, although De Martini picked up a lot of outs. One of them was the 10♣, and it came on the river to give him a flush for the winning hand, knocking out two players.
