Soulier obviously regretted the call upon seeing his opponent's cards, but he seemed to perk up a bit when the flop delivered him a Royal Flush draw! The would complete it, while any other lady would give him a chop. Likewise, any spade would secure him the knockout.

Toby Lewis moved all in from late position for his last 44,100 and Team PokerStars Pro Theo Jorgensen splashed in some chips to signify a call from the small blind. The problem was he forgot to wait for Benny Spindler on the button.
The floor was called over and ruled that if Spindler raised, then Jorgensen would be allowed to take back his move. If Spindler either called or folded, Jorgensen's move would stand. Spindler folded, Jorgensen called, and the big blind folded.
Jorgensen:
Lewis:
