Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was on the river with the board reading 6♣10♣7♦A♦6♦ and a pot of 65,000 in the middle.

Aliaksandr Shylko was first to act from the hijack and thought for a long time before checking. Antonio Galiana was on the button and tanked for even longer before putting together a bet of 60,000, close to the pot amount.

Shylko then went into the tank for a solid three minutes before eventually folding his hand.
