Paul has shoved twice and during the second time, the following happened:

Paul shoved all in from the cutoff for about 1,600,000. Rony Halimi, in the big blind, went into the tank. He asked the dealer how much it was for. The dealer started counting but Halimi told him he could stop once he saw it was a bit more than 1,500,000.

"I have a pair." Halimi said and got up. Another 30 seconds or so later he asked the floor if he was allowed to talk about his hand. As they were heads-up, the floor confirmed he could speech play.

"I have a pair of nines." Halimi then said, trying to get a response from Paul. "I put you on ace-king or ace-queen. For 1,500,000 you wouldn't do this with pocket eights or sevens. It's 20 big blinds, I really think you have ace-king."

Paul still didn't respond in any way. Halimi folded.

Paul	1,900,000 400,000	400,000

Paul raised to 125,000 from the hijack and action folded to Vladimir Shabalin in the big blind.

"Never fold against you! You can't steal my big blind!" Shabalin said to Paul. Paul just smiled.

Shabalin grabbed chips as a call and put them in, the dark green 25,000-value chips and the 100,000-value blue-ish chip are very similar so he put in 200,000 instead of 125,000 for the call. The dealer said it was a raise. Vladimir then realized his mistake but it was too late.

Paul four-bet to 600,000 and Shabalin snap-five-bet shoved with the bigger stack. Paul insta-folded.
