Braz Borges opened the action to 85,000 from the cutoff and it folded to Serge Badel in the big blind who moved all in for 95,000 total, which Borges called.
Serge Badel: Q♥Q♠
Braz Borges: J♠10♠
Badel was well ahead preflop, but when the board ran out A♦J♥10♦6♦3♠, it was the two pair for Borges that scored the pot to send Badel to the rail in 53rd place.

Omar Del Pino was all in and at risk for less than ten big blinds against the bigger-stacked Alfonso Simone.
Omar Del Pino: K♥Q♣
Alfonso Simone: 3♥3♠
The dealer fanned the flop of Q♥J♦3♣ to give Del Pino a no-good pair of queens as Simone had made a set and nothing changed on the 4♦J♣ runout to mark the Spaniard's elimination.
