Iacofano:
Iacofano got it in good, but Lundmark was drawing to live cards. The flop was kind to Iacofano as it paired his king, and the turn actually guaranteed him the win as Lundmark was drawing dead. The meaningless was put out on the river for good measure and Iacofano was shipped the double.
We missed the action, but a back-and-forth raising way saw Albert Daher get his stack of approximately 450,000 all in preflop against Madis Müür. Daher held the in the big blind, while Müür tabled the in the cutoff.
The look on Daher's face was one of discontent, and it got even worse when the gave Müür a set. Daher needed either running nines to win of running straight cards to chop, and he got a little sweat as the turn made the chop possible. Unfortunately for him, the river wasn't the three he was looking for and Daher was sent to the rail while Müür chipped up to a million in chips.

With around 75,000 in the pot and a board reading , a raising war saw Henri Benoni get his stack of approximately 230,000 in the pot holding the and he was up against the flopped set of Italy's Francesco Delfoco.
The turn completed Benoni's straight draw, and Delfoco let out a bit of a moan. His disappointment was short lived however as the river paired the board to give him a winning boat. As Delfoco celebrated, Benoni let out a long and desperate, "Nooooooo."
