Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Alexis Nicolai raised to 900,000 on the button, then snap-called after Adis Zukanovic shoved for 2,550,000 in the big blind.
While they were waiting to turn over their cards, on the other table Daniele Cuomo had raised to 900,000 in the small blind and [Removed:526] called in the big blind.
The flop came Q♠9♥3♠ and Cuomo moved all in. [Removed:526] had around 5,000,000 remaining and took a minute before folding. Tournament officials then instructed Zukanovic and Nicolai to reveal their cards.
Adis Zukanovic: A♥4♠ 
Alexis Nicolai: 9♦9♥
Zukanovic picked up a straight draw on the 8♥5♣3♠6♦, while the river came the A♣ and he let out a big yell in celebration after spiking his ace to double up.
