Amir Dukic  –  27,000  (5 bb)

A short while later, Dukic moved all in from the cutoff for 16,000, and it folded to Aaron Mahlfeldt in the big blind, who thought for a bit before he also folded.

Dukic was in utter disbelief that nobody called his shove that was only about 2 1/2 big blinds.

Amir Dukic  –  31,000  (5 bb)
Aaron Mahlfeldt  –  44,000  (7 bb)
