Mihai Gabriel Niste: Q♥10♥
The board ran out 10♣2♣7♣Q♠6♣ and Niste turned a second pair to crack Nizzardelli's aces and send him to the rail.

Josef Schusteritsch opened to 1,600 in middle position and Adel Naoun called on the button before Recep Aydemir three-bet to 7,500 in the small blind. Schusteritsch in turn four-bet to 15,000 and Naoun went in the tank before folding to hold onto his stack of about 15,500, while Aydemir called.
Aydemir checked on the flop of 2♠4♣9♠ and Schusteritsch continued for a small 7,000. Aydemir laid it down as Naoun regretfully revealed he folded pocket nines.
