Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

A full board of 7♦2♠Q♦10♣4♠ was showing and with around 325,000 chips in the middle, Georgios Sotiropoulos had bet the pot on the river. Ihar Soika had the decision and, according to his tablemates, was taking too long so the clock was called on him.

Once the tournament director started the countdown, Soika shoved all in for 930,000. The action was back on Sotiropoulos, who after spending some time thinking, reluctantly made the call.

Soika tabled Q♥4♥ for a rivered two pair and Sotiropoulos flipped Q♣5♣ then mucked it.
