Action folded to Igor Pasierbek, who moved all in for 440,000 from the Small Blind. Tomas Hrstka (Big Blind) turned over his cards one at a time for his opponents to see if he was to make the call. It turned out to be an easy decision; Hrstka flicked in one chip.

Igor Pasierbek: A♦2♥
Tomas Hrstka: A♣K♥

The animated Hrstka was trying to get the whole room to root for his big-slick. He maintained his solid lead on the 9♦4♦6♠, but he was left speechless as Pasierbek improved to a runner-runner straight thanks to 3♣5♦. His tournament life has been extended.

Igor Pasierbek: 905,000
