David Hu raised to 120,000 from early position and was called by Ryan Mandara on the button.

"Wait, don't go anywhere," Recep Aydemir told tournament officials standing by the table as he called from the big blind.

The flop came {j-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and action checked to Mandara, who bet 210,000. Aydemir asked the dealer for the all-in triangle and placed it in front of him as Hu got out of the way. Mandara, though, called the bet for around 880,000.

Aydemir showed {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for two pair, while Mandara was on a flush draw with {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. The {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades} turn and river missed Mandara and Aydemir doubled up.

"Now you can go," Aydemir said following the hand.
