Dzivielevski Finds The Call to Eliminate Pyke

Action was joined on the turn, with the board showing J♠4♠Q♥9♣ and over 100,000 already in the pot. Yuri Dzievelevski, the big blind, bet 62,000. Danny Pyke made the call from the button.

The A♠ hit the river. Dzievelevski bet four red chips, 20,000. Pyke took a few moments before announcing that he was all in. Dzievelevski began to think. He asked for a count, and the dealer confirmed the all-in bet to be 154,000. Dzievelevski continued to shuffle his chips as he considered whether or not to call. He looked at his cards once more, but did not make a decision. After several minutes, the clock was called. Before a tournament official could arrive, Dzievelevski announced the call.

Pyke turned over 2♠2♦ and held only a pair of twos. Dzievelevski showed Q♦J♦ for two pair to score the knockout and add a huge amount to his stack.
