Daniel Samson limped in from under the gun before Richard Broda raised to 2,500 in the big blind. Samson called, and they went heads-up to the 7♥Q♣6♥ flop.
Broda then bet 2,100, and Samson called. Broda checked the Q♦ turn, and Samson bet 10,000. "Do you have a queen?" Broda asked.
"Do you?" Samson replied.
"No," Broda said.
"You can always reenter," Samson told him.
"This is already my fourth one," Broda replied, before he eventually committed his last 12,000. Samson called and turned over 7♣4♣, while Broda was ahead with A♥A♦.
"What took you so long?" Samson said, but he then spiked the 7♠ on the river to win the pot and send Broda to the rail.
"Crazy," tablemate Jean Grenier said.
Around 15,000 was already in the middle as Gareth Gardner and EG went to a flop of A♣K♠9♠. Gardner then bet 2,000 from the hijack, EG raised to 4,000 in the cutoff, and Gardner called.
The turn was the 10♦ and EG moved all in. Gardner snap-called for 35,000 and turned over A♥A♠ for top set, but EG had turned a straight with Q♣J♠. The river was the 6♦, and EG took down the massive pot to send Gardner to the rail.
Pascal Pflock bet 1,000 from the hijack on a flop of A♣A♦A♥ and Martin Lechner called in the cutoff.

Chris Kyprianou and Robert Buky were heads-up on a flop of 7♠J♣7♥ when Buky bet 6,000 from the cutoff. Kyprianou then moved all in for 21,800 on the button. "Tens or a jack?" Kyprianou asked as Buky went into the tank for several minutes before calling.
Chris Kyprianou: Q♥Q♠
Robert Buky: A♠J♥
Buky turned over top pair, but Kyprianou was ahead with his queens. The board ran out 9♣K♥, and Kyprianou earned the double up.
