Eduardo Lopes Pereira raised to 3,000 from middle position, Linus Hjulstroem called in the small blind and Juan Pardo three-bet to 12,000 from the big blind. Pereira moved all in, Hjulstroem got out of the way and Pardo called.
Eduardo Lopes Pereira: A♠Q♦
Juan Pardo: K♠K♦
The board ran out K♥3♠3♥10♣A♣. Pereira hit his ace on the river, but it changed nothing as Pardo's flopped full house had him dead on the turn.
The pot stood at approximately 30,000 with two players looking at a full board that read 4♠A♣5♦K♠Q♦.
Diogo Coelho, who was under the gun, bet out for 13,500. Tsz Him Chan, in the hijack, thought for some time before making the call.
Coelho tabled 10♦8♦ for ten-high, while Chan claimed this pot with Q♣10♠ for third pair.

2015 EPT Deauville champion Ognyan Dimov to 3,000 from the hijack, and was called by the cutoff and by Daisuke Ogita on the button.
But after these actions, Shyngis Satubayev decided to squeeze to 15,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, but Dimov was not impressed at all as he shoved for approximately the starting stack.
Immediately, the cutoff and Ogita folded, and so did Satubayev.
Pablo Silva raised to 4,000 from the cutoff, receiving a call from Arthur Conan, in the big blind.
Conan check-called a bet of 3,000 from Silva on the K♠8♠3♦ flop.
The K♣ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Silva sized up to 12,000.
The A♥ river checked to a showdown. Conan tabled K♦J♥ for trip kings, winning him this pot.

Aliaksandr Shylko: A♥K♠
Mathieu Selides: A♠Q♥
The board ran out 3♣A♦10♣8♦10♥; both players paired their ace, but Shylko's kicker played and he doubled up.
