Level 42 : Blinds 1,200,000/2,500,000, 2,500,000 ante

Mario Colavita raised to 5,000,000 on the button and Ching Da Wu called from the small blind. Bogdan Munteanu thought it over briefly from the big blind before squeezing all in for 39,400,000. Colavita then shoved himself for 53,000,000 and Wu snap-called with the covering stack.

Mario Colavita: A?10? All in
Bogdan Munteanu: K?Q? All in
Ching Da Wu :A?A?

If Wu could hold with his pocket aces he would be the winner of the event. The flop of 2?8?4? meant only running cards could help Colavita and Munteanu survive. The 6? turn and 4? river spelled the end for Munteanu in third and Colavita in second.
