Within quick succession, Marcin Jaworski and Marcin Chmielewski both moved all in. Jaworski did so for 44,000 on the 
when facing a bet worth 6,500 and the opponent of the Pole folded.
Then, Chmielewski opened to 3,000 and Paris Stavridis three-bet to 8,500 from one seat over on the button. Chmielewski pushed and Stavridis folded after brief consideration.
