Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action was picked up when the board showed 8♣2♠5♦2♥. Sergiu Cornea had 135,000 in chips in front of him; Michael Starek called, but Benjamin Schneider reraised to 350,000. Cornea folded and Starek decided to call.

The dealer revealed the river Q♥. Schneider moved instantly 500,000 towards the middle of the table, Starek reraised to 1,000,000 and Schneider called with A♥A♣.

Unfortunately, his pocket aces didn't hold up; Starek flopped a set with pocket eights 8♠8♦, which developed into a full house on the river.
