Hand-for-hand mode is not yet completed and there are two all-in and call on separate tables.

Banipal Babana has most of his chips in preflop and the last 45,000 then go into the middle on the Spade JSpade 10Heart 3 flop against Louis Doherty.

Banipal Babana: Club AHeart K.
Louis Doherty: Heart AHeart J.

The Heart 2 turn takes away an out and the Spade 8 river seals the fate of Babana. He then has to wait for the other all-in to finish, in which Oleg Ivanchenko loses to Gerald Trass and that means he splits the min-cash.
