Level 29 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Gediminas Dirmantas opened 320,000 in middle position and Alec Torelli called in the cutoff before Aristeidis Moschonas defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of K♦9♣7♠, and the action checked to Torelli who fired 375,000 into the middle. Moschonas got out of the way, but Dirmantas made the call.

The 4♠ turn was checked through to see the 8♦ on the river. Dirmantas checked once more, and Torelli announced all-in as he slid two stacks of blues across the line. Dirmantas went into the tank, and eventually he splashed some chips across the line to call off his 2,455,000.

Torelli tossed his A♠10♠ in disgust and Dirmantas rolled A♥7♥ to win with a pair of sevens.
