Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

On a completed board reading 6♦J♦K♣5♥A♣ and about 500,000 in the pot, Mark Ioli led out with a bet of 500,000 into Julien Sitbon.

This sent Sitbon deep into the tank. As he pondered his action and tried to get Ioli to talk to him, hoping to draw out any useful information, Ioli stayed stoic as Sitbon worked the hand out in his head.

Eventually, the floor was called over to give Sitbon a countdown and as time expired, Sitbob tossed in a calling chip at the last second.

Ioli quickly opened up 6♠6♥, prompting Sitbon to count out 500,000 in chips and slide them across the table to Ioli.

Sitbon didn't show, but did say that he ended up calling with Kx5x for two pair to Ioli's set.
