Level 29 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

It's really slowed down here at Snowfest, Koen De Visscher opened to 200,000 on the button and everyone else folded. The Belgian showed {a-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} .

Kevin Vandersmissen opened to 200,000 and suddenly Giacomo Maisto woke up and moved all-in from the button. Vladimir Geshkenbein folded but De Visscher tanked from the big blind and got a count which was 2.73 million. De Visscher eventually folded and Vandersmissen quickly folded behind him.

Vandersmissen made it 200,000 on the button and Geshkenbein called in the big blind to see a {q-Hearts} {10-Clubs} {10-Hearts} flop which both players checked. Geshkenbein also checked the {j-Diamonds} turn and Vandersmissen put out a big pot-sized bet of 425,000 which the Russian quickly folded to. Vandersmissen showed {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs} .
