Nacho Barbero opened to 230,000 from the button, and Nicolas Cardyn moved all in for 1,520,000. Barbero thought it over for about a minute or so before making the call with a chance to end the tournament right here. Cards up, gents:

Barbero: {Q-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

Cardyn:

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Spades}

Cardyn was at risk but ahead, and the dealer would do her part to ensure his survival. She ran out a board of {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{8-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

{9-Spades}

{4-Clubs}

, and that secures a big double up for Cardyn.

Check out these chip counts after that hand:
Cardyn - 3.04 million
Barbero - 3.1 million
