Valerii Lubenets, Ajith Tharmalingam and Alioto Piero were all in preflop in a three way confrontation, with both Lubenets and Piero at risk.
Valerii Lubenets: Q♦J♠
Alioto Piero: 10♥10♠
Ajith Tharmalingam: 5♦5♠
Piero had the best of it with pocket tens and Lubenets had queen-jack. Tharmalingam had pocket fives and was in bad shape before the board ran out.
The board came 5♣2♦9♣Q♥Q♠. Lubenets hit trip queens, but Tharmalingam hit a full house with fives full of queens to triple up his stack.
Both Lubenets and Piero were eliminated from the tournament.
