Marcus Dieleman: K♥10♥10♦8♦ All in
Mads Amot: A♦Q♥Q♣J♠

Amot made a set on the Q♦K♠A♠ flop to increase his lead. The 6♣ turn changed nothing, and the A♥ river sealed Dieleman's fate, making Amot a full house.

Barakat Comes Back With Vegeance, Busts Vihikainen

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

"Gypsy Baron" opened to 7,000 in the hijack. Aki Vihikainen flat-called in the cutoff before Youness Barakat piled in a three-bet to 31,000 on the button.

"Gypsy Baron" quickly released his cards, but Vihikainen wanted to see a flop and called. Barakat bet 75,000 on the 8♥10♦J♦ flop, and Vihikainen check-raised all in for not much more. Barakat instantly called, revealing the cards.

Aki Vihikainen: 9♣7♥6♣5♥ All in
Youness Barakat: A♥A♣Q♣9♦

Barakat had flopped the nut straight against Vihikainen's second nuts. The remaining runout could not save Vihikainen, who became the second player to exit on Day 1b.
