: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Andras Halasi was in the cutoff with a raise of 27,000 in front of him before Marcello Miniucchi moved all in for 225,000 on the button. Halasi tanked for a few minutes, but he eventually called to put Miniucchi at risk.
"Wow, big call," tablemate Michael Adam said.
Marcello Miniucchi: A♥Q♦ 
Andras Halasi: 9♠9♥
Miniucchi was flipping for his tournament life, and he found an ace on the A♣K♥6♣ flop to take the lead. Halasi buried his head in his hands as the board ran out 5♠4♦, forcing him to hand over the double.
