By the Graziano of God

Sandra Ambroz raised to 1,600 in early position, only for Carlo Graziano to reraise all in for 4,500 total. At which point uber-stack Rasmus Gandrup announced that he was all in too.

Ambroz was left with a difficult decision. "I'm beating you," said Graziano helpfully. Eventually she passed (Graziano managed to extract from her that she hadn't had an ace) and Graziano confidently turned over {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}. Gandrup turned over a perhaps slightly embarrassing but very live {5-Spades} {8-Spades}. "Oh, nice hand," said a deadpan Graziano, and the board was dealt.

Board: {10-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {6-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {5-Clubs}

A visibly relieved Graziano sat back down and took possession of his new, healthier 10k stack.
