Two live satellite winners, Menelaos Pissarides and Fernando Garcia, were tangling with the board reading . On the river, Garcia bet 8,225, only to be met by an all in shove from the Cypriot.

Garcia agonized over his decision before flicking in the rest of his stack, about 15,000. Pissarides wasted no time in flipping over and clapped his hands in excitement. Garcia angrily flung in the muck and was out of the tournament.
