Action was heads up with over 50,000 in the pot and 
on the board when Tama Konya checked from the big blind before Eros Calderone shoved for 67,000 from late position. Konya went deep into the tank for several moments, but he ultimately decided to toss his hand in the muck and give up the pot.

to show the bluff.
"Nice hand," Konya said as he watched the pot go in the other direction.

Niveau 10
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Stefan Burch raised to 2,500 from middle position before Walter Treccarichi three-bet to 8,000. Rafal Nikiel flatted on the button and action folded back to Burch who put in the four-bet to 24,000. Treccarichi folded and then it was Nikiel's turn to raise and he moved all in for 52,100 and was snap-called by Burch.
Rafal Nikiel: 
Stefan Burch: 
Nikiel had put in the five-bet jam with seven-high and needed to connect to stay in the Eureka High Roller. The 
flop gave him the lead and he doubled up following the 
turn and 
river.
Burch was in disbelief while several of Nikiel's tablemates offered him first bumps for his creativity.
Also at the table is two-time WSOP bracelet winner Juha Helppi, who was also revealed to be World Champion paintball player.
PokerNews sat down with Helppi to discuss his exploits off and on the felt recently so be sure to check out the article.
