Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of K♠6♣2♥, Jose Gaona bet 80,000 from the cutoff and Giuliano Bendinelli called in the big blind.

The turn was the J♠ and Gaona bet 350,000. Bendinelli again called and the 5♥ fell on the river. Gaona then moved all in for 855,000.

"Two minutes, guys," Bendinelli said as he went deep into the tank. The rest of the field was waiting for the redraw and crowded around the table as Bendinelli continued to ponder the decision. The clock was eventually called, and Bendinelli folded.

Gaona threw Q♠10♦ into the middle of the table while raking in the pot.

Zoltan Vranscik raised to 120,000 under the gun before Christian Schneider moved all in from early position. Oleh Okhotskyi called for 645,000 in the hijack, while Vranscik got out of the way.

Okhotskyi was ahead with his kings, but Schneider spiked two pair on the A♣8♦Q♥ flop to move in front. The turn, though, was the K♥ as Okhotskyi hit a set to retake the lead. The Q♦ river gave Schneider a full house, but it wasn't enough as Okhotskyi made a higher boat to earn the double up.

Antonello Ferraiuolo: 8♦8♣ All in
Michel Karim: 9♥9♦

Ferraiuolo was pipped by Karim, and the runout of 10♥5♠6♥K♦9♣ contained no snowmen, which meant he was out in 25th.
