On a flop of 5♠Q♥K♥ with around 7,000,000 in the pot , Mihai Niste had checked and Mario Colavita fired out 2,500,000. Umberto Ruggeri then shoved for around 10,000,000, Niste shoved behind, and Colavita folded.
Umberto Ruggeri: 8♥7♥
Mihai Niste: 5♥4♥
"Woah, I didn't expect to see that," said Niste, who was in the lead with his pair.
The turn brought a Q♦, which put Ruggeri one step closer to the rail, but the 8♠ river gave him a bigger pair, and the chip lead!
