"Chip dumping," joked Tom Vogelsang, as the pot went to Ionescu.

Adrian Mateos was under the gun and made it 24,000 to go. Joao Tomas flat-called on the button, and Nicola Spallanzani defended his big blind.
Mateos fired a bet of 22,000 on the A♦J♥K♣ flop, seeing both opponents call. He sized up to 85,000 on the 9♠ turn, which was enough to let Tomas fold 10♠10♦.
Spallanzani was not going anywhere yet, however, as he check-called to see the 5♦ river. After Spallanzani checked a third time, a hefty bet of 220,000 followed by Mateos.
Spallanzani grabbed his time banks while he thought things through, and he eventually concluded a call was best after two time banks.
He tossed chips into the middle, but his A♠7♥ quickly disappeared into the muck when Mateos tabled A♥K♦ for top two pair.
