Gregoire Auzoux: A♠K♠

Mokri showed 5♠4♠ for missed straight and flush draws, while Bujtas turned over K♠9♠ for his own flush draw that made two pair on the river as he took the big pot.

Vladimir Troyanovskiy was moved to this table after Schemion's elimination and raised to 13,000 under the gun. Kayhan Mokri then three-bet to 40,000 in the hijack and Gregoire Auzoux four-bet to 85,000 in the cutoff.

Troyanovskiy folded, but Mokri then moved all in. Auzoux quickly folded.

"I just wanted to call 13. I can't call 40 so I had to four-bet," Auzoux said.

"I'm playing tight today. Only good hands," Mokri replied.
