Vitezslav Cech moved all in from under the gun with his last 840,000 chips, and right after, Stepan Budac, still recovering from a big loss in the previous hand, re-shoved with 600,000 more chips. Dmitrij Fadeev took some time, and asked for a count, but eventually folded. It was time for a heads-up showdown.
