with a pot already containing around 100,000, Hagay Krause shoved all in from the big blind seat for his last 72,000 and was called by Simone Miracoli.
Hagay Kraus: 
Simone Miracoli:

Ricardas Vymeris opened to 13,000 and Aleksandar Tomovic three-bet to 38,000. It came back to Vymeris who called.
The flop fell 
and Vymeris check-raised all in after Tomovic continued for 45,000. The latter tanked for a few minutes and mucked his cards.
Hoang Pham was spotted on his way out of the tournament area and his cards were mucked while the pot was pushed to Ricardas Vymeris. The cards of the Lithuanian were still showing and his 
had prevailed on a 
board.

turn blanked, the 
river indeed completed the straight for Nissim to send Vakaliuk out just before the money.
