Level 39:  400,000/800,000 (800,000)
Entries: 9/5,799

Davide Iannaco found A♥K♦ in the early position and jammed his 6,300,000 stack into the middle. Kyriakos Papadopoulos peeled 9♠9♣ in the big blind and made a quick call, risking a quarter of his stack.

The A♦7♣J♥ flop gave Iannaco a commanding lead with the top pair, but in poker it’s never easy, as Papadopoulos picked up four more outs on the 8♠ turn. The river is a blank 5♥, and Iannaco doubled up to 14 million, pulling him out of the shortest stack spot.

Davide Iannaco – 14,000,000
Kyriakos Papadopoulos – 13,000,000
