Level 26
: Blinds 35,000/70,000, 8,750 ante
Stefan "baeks22" Schillhabel raised the button to 154k and then called when Gabriel "aaurelio" Moura raised the big blind to 595k. Moura bet 126k on the A♠A♣5♥ flop and Schillhabel called.
On the 4♠ turn, Moura fired 245k then called when Schillhabel bumped it up to 840k. Moura checked the 8♠ river that washed up the backdoor spades, and Schillhabel shoved for just over 1.9m. Moura mucked to send the 3.2m pot to Schillhabel.
