Evagoras Evagorou raised to 1,125,000 under the gun and Giuseppe Pantaleo moved all in for 4,225,000 in middle position. Tolga Karakaya then reshoved for 9,925,000 on the button and Zhao Liu called in the small blind, while Evagorou took a minute before folding.
Giuseppe Pantaleo: A♠J♠
Tolga Karakaya: Q♥Q♣

Karakaya scooped the pot to earn the double up off Liu, while Pantaleo was sent to the rail in 25th place.
