Elena Litviniuk opens to 50,000 in middle position, and is faced with a three-bet to 155,000 by Neculai Macovei in the small blind. Litviniuk asks how much her opponent has behind, and on being informed the total at the start of the hand was 530,000, announces she is all-in with the covering stack. Macovei makes the quick call.

In the classic race, Macovei is ahead, and has a near lock on the hand after the flop gives him top set. The turn confirms Litviniuk is drawing dead, and the river completes the board.
Necuali Macovei – 1,120,000 (44 bb)
Elena Litviniuk – 450,000 (18 bb)
