Mikhail Zavoloka moved all in from early position.
The table folded to Pol Vela Marchuet in the big blind. He seemed to agonize over making the call to defend with his roughly equal stack, but eventually did.
Mikhail Zavoloka: J♣8♠
Pol Vela Marchuet: A♠6♣
Marchuet's feeling that he made the right call didn't survive the runout of 7♦10♣5♠8♣7♣, as Zavoloka turned a pair of eights to take the pot, leaving Marchuet on fumes with just 50,000 chips.
With 40,000 of his chips already committed to the small blind, Marchuet moved all in for the final 10,000 when the action reached him.
Matthew Salsberg was already covering that bet from the big.
Pol Vela Marchuet: 9♠5♠
Matthew Salsberg: Q♣9♣
The board ran out 9♥6♦A♠Q♠J♥. With a dominated nine discounting the flop, Marchuet picked up a flush draw on the turn, but Salsberg's two pair took the hand.
