Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Koen De Visscher open-shoved from the small blind, but big blind Kevin Vandersmissen wasn't interested. He picked up the blinds and antes.

Next hand, De Visscher shoved again, this time from the button. Again, Vandersmissen wasn;t up for it - but Vladimir Geshkenbein in the big blind was. He called, and they were on their backs.

Geshkenebein: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
De Visscher: {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and sighing, "Nice hand."

Board: {7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Spades}

Although there were spirited cries of, "Ace from space!" as the cards were dealt, switching to, "Seven from heaven!" on the flop (even Geshkenbein joined in), it wasn't to be. De Visscher took his glass of champagne to the rail (Geshkenbein ordered a bottle when they went three-handed, and we are now heads up.
