It folded around to Thomas Pettersson on the button who shoved for 244,000. In the big blind Ankush Mandavia sighed, "Oh my god, what are you doing, have you seen this?" Mandavia is also short on under 400,000. But in the end Mandavia wouldn't have a decision to make. Torsten Brinkmann called in the small blind and Mandavia swiftly folded; the other two turned their cards over. It was a revelation for everyone - Pettersson admitted that he'd only looked at one of his cards.

Pettersson was all smiles as he doubled up to around 530,000 - still around half the average stack, but out of immediate danger. Brinkmann was pretty smiley too - his stack was barely dented by the loss.
