Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Dimitrios Gkatzas opened to 160,000 from the button, and Xiaowen Zhao used two time extensions before three-bet shoving for 555,000 from the small blind. Vitezslav Cech called from the big blind with a covering stack, and Gkatzas got out of the way.
"I'll take this as a sign, five-five-five," Cech commented regarding his own hand and the size of Zhao's shove, just before the cards were turned on their backs.
Xiaowen Zhao: Q♥J♥ 
Vitezslav Cech: 5♣5♦
Cech's pocket fives held up on the 4♦K♠2♣3♠9♥ runout to send Zhao to the rail in 12th place.
