More than 50,000 was already in the pot as Aleksandro Horn and Hugo Gotuzzo went to a flop of 9♠8♠6♠. Gotuzzo then moved all in from the hijack. "It's over for you," Horn told him as he called for 48,300.
Aleksandro Horn: 10♠7♠
Hugo Gotuzzo: J♦J♣
Gotuzzo showed two jacks, but he was already drawing dead as Horn flopped a straight flush. Not even the J♠ turn could save Gotuzzo, while he handed over most of his stack following the K♣ river.

The big blind then bet 20,000, and Salvador again called. The big blind checked to Salvador on the 9♣ river, and he bet enough to put his opponent all in. The big blind called for his last 40,000, but Salvador showed him A♦K♦ for a flush as the at-risk player's cards quickly hit the muck and he headed to the rail.

One card can change the course of an entire poker tournament, and for Martin Lechner, that’s exactly what happened at the final table of the 888poker Live Glasgow £888 Main Event.
With four players remaining, Lechner moved all in for his last 1,545,000 on the king-high flop and was called by Richard Kellett. Lechner showed king-ten for top pair, but Kellett had him dominated with ace-king. The other two players had already folded a ten, so Lechner had just one out going to the river to stay alive. He caught the miracle, and it helped the Austrian capture the title in his first-ever 888poker Live event.
"It’s amazing. It’s my first 888 Live tournament and I came here for the trophy. The trophy means a bit more than the money for me, so it’s really special to win the heads-up,” Lechner said after defeating Kellett heads-up to win the £57,515 first prize and end up on top of the 348-player field.
