Level 35
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
On the first hand of the final table, Simone Andrian raised to 800,000 in middle position with A♠10♦ and Dashinka folded A♥5♠ in the big blind.
Andrian again picked up A♣10♣ the next hand and raised to 800,000. Fausto Tantillo called in the big blind and they went heads-up to the Q♦10♠2♦ flop.
Both players checked to the 5♥ turn where Andrian bet 750,000. Tantillo called and the A♦ fell on the river.
Tantillo then led out for 1,625,000 and Andrian called with two pair. Tantillo, though, showed K♥J♣ for a rivered straight as the chip leader took the first big pot of the final table.
