Hassan Barakat raised to 160,000 in early position before John Doe U three-bet to 450,000 in middle positon. Action folded to Riccardo Santagostino in the big blind who used a time bank card, then moved all in for 2,120,000. Barakat snap-called for his last 1,200,000, while Doe gave it some thought before also calling.
Hassan Barakat: J♣J♦ 
Riccardo Santagostino: A♣A♠

Santagostino was ahead with his aces with more than 5,000,000 at stake as the flop came K♥7♠2♠. Santagostino remained ahead on the 2♦ turn, while the river was the 10♠. Barakat was sent to the rail, while Santagostino doubled up off Doe to leave him with just two big blinds.
