Level 22
: 30,000/60,000, 6,000 ante
Stefan Schillhabel raised to 120,000 from early position and Chris Backhouse defended his big blind with 
. The 
flop brought a gutshot straight draw for Backhouse, and that was enough for the Englishman to pay Schillhabel's bet of 110,000. The players afterwards checked through the 
turn.
The 
on the river was just what the doctor ordered for Backhouse, and he put in a bet of 310,000. Schillhabel thought for a bit before announcing "all-in", and Backhouse wasted no time making the call.
That brings Backhouse up above 1,5 million for the first time this tournament, while Schillhabel is left sporting the shortest stack of the table.
