After a level of watching paint dry this tournament has just been turned on it's head in the most intriguing hand of this tournament so far.

It just seemed like another standard open when Luca Cainelli raised under the gun to 280,000. Team Pokerstars Pro Daniel Negreanu called to his direct left and Team Pokerstars Pro Martin Hruby called from the Button. Konstantinos Nanos and Michael Eiler folded in the blinds and we were three to the flop contesting a million dollar pot.

Flop: {8-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {k-Spades}

Cainelli then made a continuation bet and it was a big one - 725,000. Negreanu called almost instantly and Hruby also started to count his chips. He asked the Dealer to confirm how much his bet was before making the call.

Now for the most significant turn card in this tournament. {9-Spades} and with 3,270,000 in the pot Luca Cainelli announced he was all-in and Negreanu also announced all-in, this prompted Hruby to lean back in his chair with hands behind his head. After a brief pause Hruby also called and we had a three way all-in.

Cainelli: {a-Spades} {a-Diamonds}

Negreanu: {k-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

Hruby: {6-Diamonds} {7-Clubs}

Cainelli had the rockets, Negreanu had two pair and Hruby who had been short stacked for most of this final table incredibly had the straight. The river was the {5-Clubs} and Hruby catapulted himself to the top of the leaderboard and Cainelli headed to the rail.
