Different Players, Different Paces
Erwann Pecheux raised to 1,700 in the hijack, which button Andrea Cortellazzi bumped up to 5,300. Once it had folded back to Pecheux, he moved all in for 31,800.
Cortellazzi had some difficulty with his decision, spending about three minutes in the tank before the clock was called. Near the end of his countdown, he flicked in a few calling chips to put his opponent at risk.
Erwann Pecheux: A♠K♣ 
Andrea Cortellazzi: 9♠9♥
Cortellazzi's courage was rewarded when the Q♦Q♥10♦8♥7♦ runout missed Pecheux's ace-king and eliminated him from the Main Event.
Over at another table, Enrique Llorens raised to 1,600 in the hijack and saw Laurent Cessy three-bet to 4,500 on the button. Llorens quickly called.
Llorens then check-called Cessy's bet of 7,000 on the 9♦8♠8♣ flop, both players checked the 3♠ turn, and Llorens shoved all in on the 6♠ river within a span of 30 seconds. Cessy found a swift fold, leaving himself with just over 15 big blinds.
