Kniep Makes the Right Call
After missing the first few hands of the level after the dinner break, including his blinds, Andreas Kniep was back and in a hurry to collect some chips. He first shoved all in from under the gun and the action folded around.
On the next hand, Jareth East raised to 1,000,000 from under the gun and Kniep defended his big blind. The flop came 
and the action checked around to the 
on the turn.
Kniep led out for 2,000,000 and East called to see the 
on the river. Kniep checked this time and East shoved all in, putting Kniep to the test for his remaining 5,550,000 chips.
It took over six minutes in the tank, along with some talking to himself, for Kniep to come to the conclusion of making the call. East turned over 
but Kniep held 
for the better two pair.
