Tilica Scoops a Huge Pot With Big Slick, Schoss Tumbles Down the Leaderboard
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Luigi Pignataro raised from under the gun to 105,000 and Stefan Schoss three-bet the hijack to 250,000. Bogdan Tilica then four-bet shoved for 1,725,000 out of the cutoff, which got Pignataro to fold. Schoss mulled things over for a while and scrunched up his face a few times before he finally shrugged his shoulders and called.
Bogdan Tilica: A♦K♥ 
Stefan Schoss: A♣Q♠
The pot was worth almost 4,000,000 and Tilica had a huge advantage, which he maintained after the A♥8♦2♥ flop. Schoss was still searching for a queen, but instead was left drawing dead as the K♣ turn improved Tilica to an unbeatable two pair. An irrelevant 6♥ filled out the board, and the huge pot was pushed in Tilica's direction.
