Frank Visser

In a pot of 105,000, big blind Giorgos Tsoupras got his stack of 190,000 in the middle on a flop of 5♣J♠Q♠. Lautaro Guerra had looked him up in the cutoff and the cards were tabled.

Giorgos Tsoupras: 9♠9♥5♠5♥ All in
Lautaro Guerra: A♣K♥10♣5♦

Guerra made a straight on the A♦ turn to take the lead. The A♥ paired the board, giving both players a full house. Guerra had the higher one, however, and sent Tsoupras to the rail.
