Joentausta Loses 200k Pot, Still Makes Profit

Liutauras Armanavicius moved all in for 65,000 preflop and Iliodoros Kamatakis flat-called before Aku Joentausta raised to 150,000 in the big blind. Kamatakis quickly moved all in and Joentausta snap-called for a huge three-way all in.

Joentausta: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}
Kamatakis: {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}
Armanavicius: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The board came out {Q-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} - Armanavicius winning the main 200,000 pot to triple up but Joentausta still picked up the 320,000 side pot, making sure he finished the hand in profit also.

Soltanov: {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}
Helppi: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}

The board went {7-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {9-Hearts} eliminating Juha Helppi from the tournament.

Cailly Can't Bluff Zaichenko

Russia's Andrey Zaichenko and France's Lucille Cailly both put 45,000 in on the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}{J-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} board before seeing the {9-Diamonds} fall on the river. Zaichenko checked to his opponent and Cailly slid out 85,000. After some tanking, Zaichenko made the call.

Cailly acknowledged the call as being a good one with a head nod and turned up the {Q-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Zaichenko showed the {A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for a pair of aces and the winning hand to scoop in the pot.
