Level 12
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Shalev Halfa opened to 30,000 in the hijack, and Thomas Hueber defended his big blind. Hueber check-called when Halfa continued for 40,000 on the 8♣7♣2♠ flop, after which the Q♠ graced the turn.
Hueber checked again, but this time he raised all in for 428,000 when Halfa fired for 140,000. Halfa called, covering his opponent by double the amount.
Thomas Hueber: Q♣8♠ 
Shalev Halfa: A♥Q♥
Halfa's turned pair was no good, as Hueber was sitting on two pair. The 9♥ river made no difference, and Hueber doubled up to seven figures.
