Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Emanuele Onnis raised to 425,000 from the cutoff with {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} and Fabian Gumz found {a-Spades}{a-Clubs} on the button. Gumz three-bet to 1,200,000 and Nicolaj D'Antoni found {4-Spades}{4-Clubs} in the big blind but folded them. Action was back on Onnis who made the call.

The flop came {5-Spades}{3-Spades}{a-Diamonds}, Onnis checked, Gumz took a few seconds and then decided to bet 600,000 which Onnis called.

The turn brought them the {7-Diamonds}, Onnis checked once more and now Gumz bet 1,000,000. Onnis stared at the board while trying to decide what to do and then folded.
