Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 3♣7♦3♥5♠2♠ and roughly 285,000 already in the middle, Fernando Santa Maria checked from middle position and Chadi Akremi moved all in, covering Santa Maria's remaining stack of roughly 260,000. Santa Maria went deep into the tank.

After nearly five minutes Santa Maria asked the dealer to spread the pot. About a minute later he made the call.

"Good call" Akremi told his opponent, tabling K♥J♥ for a bluff. Santa Maria tabled A♥J♦ for just ace-high, much to the amazement of his tablemates, and scooped in a colossal pot.

Fernando Santa Maria	825,000 609,000	609,000
