Level 17
: 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
There was about 1,000,000 already in the pot and the board read 
when we got the the table. Gerald Karlic was in late middle position and heads-up against Stefan Schillhabel, who was on the button. Karlic checked, Schillhabel bet 470,000, and Karlic called.
The turn brought the 
and both players checked.
The 
fell on the river and Karlic bet 3,750,000. After some consideration, Schillhabel shoved for what looked like about 7,000,000. Karlic called and Schillhabel instantly tabled 
. His set of aces was best, as Karlic tossed his hand into the muck and the dealer pushed the massive pot Schillhabel's way. He is now the chip leader and the only player with a stack over the 20,000,000-chip mark.
