Tilica Scoops a Huge Pot With Big Slick, Schoss Tumbles Down the Leaderboard
Level 23
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Luigi Pignataro raised from under the gun to 105,000 and Stefan Schoss three-bet the hijack to 250,000. Bogdan Tilica then four-bet shoved for 1,725,000 out of the cutoff, which got Pignataro to fold. Schoss mulled things over for a while and scrunched up his face a few times before he finally shrugged his shoulders and called.
Bogdan Tilica: A?K? 
Stefan Schoss: A?Q?
The pot was worth almost 4,000,000 and Tilica had a huge advantage, which he maintained after the A?8?2? flop. Schoss was still searching for a queen, but instead was left drawing dead as the K? turn improved Tilica to an unbeatable two pair. An irrelevant 6? filled out the board, and the huge pot was pushed in Tilica's direction.
