Ioannis Poullos started the action by opening the button to 120,000. Marius Gicovanu shoved over the top from the small blind before Andrej Tekel reshoved from the big blind. Poullos seemed like he wanted to call but folded out and it went heads up to a flop, with Tekel at risk.

Marius Gicovanu: J♦10♦
