Tomas Jozonis: A♣8♥ All in
Chad Eveslage: 10♦10♣

Level 30 : 800,000/1,600,000, 1,600,000 ante

Oscar Lima raised to 3,200,000 on the button, and Lukas Rutkauskas moved almost his entire stack into the middle. The three-bet was for 27,700,000, and Rutkauskas had one 100,000 chip behind.

Lima called to see the A♦3♥Q♠ flop, and Rutkauskas stuck in his last chip.

"I'm not happy," said Lima as he made the call.

Lukas Rutkauskas: 8♣8♥ All in
Oscar Lima: K♠J♠

"You are in good shape," replied Rutkauskas after seeing Lima's hand. The 4♦ turn and Q♦ river were not what Lima was looking for, and Rutkauskas scored a big double.
