Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Matas Cimbolas - and no, that's not a penguin dressed as a Dalek behind him.
Matas Cimbolas - and no, that's not a penguin dressed as a Dalek behind him.

Matas Cimbolas open-shoved for 1,645,000 preflop. Ben Warrington tanked for two minutes then made the call.

Cimbolas: {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Warrington: {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Warrington was ahead but barely. The flop came {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and it looked as though it was going to be a chop until the {5-Diamonds} came on the turn to put Cimbolas in front. Warrington needed a six or seven to win the lot but the {2-Clubs} came instead.

The Lithuanian is right back in this.
