Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/10,000, 100,000 ante

Robert Burlacu raised to 200,000 in middle position and then watched as Eddie Ochana called out of the small blind. Mark Tarich, the player in the big blind, folded.

The dealer fanned K♠3♥6♦ on the flop, which Ochana checked. Burlacu responded by betting 165,000, which Ochana called. The turn showed A♥, which Ochana checked. Burlacu counted out chips and then pushed out a 505,000 bet. Ochana asked the dealer to confirm the amount of the bet before calling.

The 5♦ appeared on the river, which slowed down action as both players checked.

Ochana tabled A♦9♦ for a pair of aces, resulting in Burlacu immediately mucking his hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Eddie Ochana	6,405,000 870,000	870,000

Robert Burlacu	2,705,000 870,000	870,000
