Straight for Machon; Chip Race Break
Level 23
: 40,000/80,000, 8,000 ante
First to act, Chris Backhouse open-shoved with the 
and Vojtech Ruzicka folded the 
in the big blind.
Bartlomiej Machon raised to 260,000 first to act with the 
and won the blinds and antes.
Ruzicka made it 180,000 to go with the 
and Machon defended the big blinds with 
. On the 
flop, Machon checked and Ruzicka continued for the very same 180,000, which Machon called.
After the 
turn, Machon checked and Ruzicka checked behind to see the 
on the river. Machon took plenty of time before leading for 515,000, more than half the pot. Ruzicka took equally long and then folded his overpair.
Right after, the four players headed into a 10-minute break at the end of the level to race off some smaller chips.
