Touko Berndtson put his last 41,000 in the middle from the hijack when it folded to him. Gianluca Bernardini sat on the button and he rejammed, covering Berndtson. The rest of the players got out of the way and they opened up.
Touko Berndtson: 
Gianluca Bernardini: 
The 
flop was safe for Bernardini, but the 
turn already brought extra outs for Berndtson. The 
on the river was one of those cards and he doubled up while leaving Bernardini with just three big blinds. Shortly after, he lost those as well.
