Alessandro Pichierri was already all in with around 300,000 in the middle as Simone Ramakers and Krasimir Yankov went to the river on a board of 3♦2♠9♦5♠K♠. Ramakers then bet 200,000 from the button and Yankov, in the big blind, tanked for a minute before folding.
Ramakers turned over 7♦7♥ for a pair of sevens. "I knew she was bluffing," a despondent Pichierri said as he mucked queen-five before heading off to collect his payout.
At the same time at another table, Pawel Wojciehowski and Manoe Betrix were heads-up on a board of 4♣5♦2♠7♣5♥. Wojciehowski then moved all in from the big blind. Betrix used four time banks before calling for his last 400,000, turning over J♥J♣. Wojciehowski, though, had 8♣6♦ for a straight to send Betrix to the rail.
