22 Beats AQ and QQ, AQ Beats QQ
Máté Mécs open shoved his last 50,000 in from early position. Ullerup Tve Hansen behind him shoved over the top all in for about 150,000 and action folded to Ville Jantunen on the button who had both players covered and also went all in. Both blinds folded.
Máté Mécs: 
Ullerup Tve Hansen: 
Ville Jantunen: 
Jantunen was the favorite, but at least one player at the table had faith Mécs would win; "Deuces never loses" he said.
The cliché came true: 
. Mécs was now in front for the main pot, but Jantunen was still leading for the far bigger side pot. The 
on the turn changed nothing, but the 
on the river did.
"Thank you" said Mécs to his neighbor who now looked like a fortune teller. "It's just a fact you know" laughed the player in the one seat.
Jantunen wasn't laughing so hard, he was counting out chips to hand to his opponent. Jantunen was left with about 60,000, but busted out not much later.
