The Big Stacks Go To War
Level 20
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Armando D'Avanzo raised and earned a call from Vasil Medarov in the small blind. Ermanno Di Nicola potted and D'Avanzo then repotted for Medarov to fold and Di Nicola to get his stack in for a massive pot.
Ermanno Di Nicola: 
Armando D'Avanzo: 
The 
board gave both players a full house. Di Nicola thought it was a guaranteed chop by the turn but either player could have paired their low card to win the pot. Instead, it was indeed a chop between the two Italians.
