Samir Boudeliou opened to 18,000 first-to-act and Martins Sulte shoved for his last 82,000 from middle position.
Action folded back to Boudeliou, who tanked for a while before eventually making the call to put Sulte at risk.
Martins Sulte: Q♣Q♠
Samir Boudeliou: 7♠7♣
The 5♦K♥4♦10♦4♣ runout was clean for Sulte, who was awarded the double-up.

Joao Sydenstricker: A♣8♣
David Xarau: A♠K♣
The board came Q♥J♣3♦2♦Q♠ as Xarau's better ace-high ended Sydenstricker's day.
Oscar Mas moved all in for about 100,000 on the button and was called by Mahir Cirak in the small blind.
Oscar Mas: A♣J♣
Mahir Cirak: A♥Q♦
The board came K♥10♠6♥3♣A♠ as Cirak's superior ace carried him to the win and elimination of Mas.
With stunning architecture, rich cultural history and millions of annual visitors, it's no surprise that Barcelona is one of the top tourist attractions in the world.
It's also no surprise that the European Poker Tour (EPT) Barcelona festival is the biggest EPT stop of them all, drawing thousands of players and generating millions tens of millions in prize money. And while EPT Barcelona is mainly about the poker, its prime location at Casino Barcelona puts it within minutes of some of the city's top attractions.
Here are some of the top activities to do in Barcelona off the felt, all within a few miles of EPT Barcelona.
Marle Spragg and Sirzat Hissou were heads-up on a flop of 9♥2♠A♠. Spragg bet 26,000 from the small blind and HIssou called in the big blind.
Spragg checked to Hissou after the 6♦ came on the turn and he bet 55,000. Spragg called.
The 10♣ completed the board and both players checked. Spragg turned over 10♥2♥ for a rivered two pair and Hissou mucked — awarding the pot to Spragg.
Jacques Der Megreditchian moved all in for 85,000 under the gun and Sandro Pitzanti called in early position, having Der Megreditchian barely covered.
Jacques Der Megreditchian: A♣J♠
Sandro Pitzanti: 9♥9♠
Der Megreditchian hit top pair on the A♥7♣4♣ flop to take the lead, while he improved to two pair on the 7♠ turn and J♥ river to secure the double up and leave Pitzanti on an extreme short stack.
"Chip and a chair," a tablemate joked with Pitzanti after the hand.
Conor Beresford raised to 16,000 under the gun, Bogdan Tapu moved all in for 70,000 in early position, and Beresford called.
Bogdan Tapu: 6♦6♠
Conor Beresford: A♣Q♥
The flop came A♠7♥3♣ to give Beresford the lead with top pair, while the rest of the board ran out K♦5♣ to send Tapu to the rail.
Mortiz Gamsjager and his father Christoph entered the day not only with similar short stacks of under ten big blinds, but seated at adjacent tables.
Moritz won his way into the event on a $0.50 silver pass satellite, and then actually won another entry during the Pokerstars EPT Barcelona meet-up event.
He's since not only made Day 2, but spun his short stack up to 200,000 chips.
Dad Christoph wasn't so fortunate as his run has come to an end, though still with the min-cash he earned for making it to Day 2.
Danut Chisu was all in for 247,000 in the hijack against Andres Korn in the hijack, who had him covered.
Danut Chisu: 8♠8♣
Andres Korn: A♣Q♣
The flop of 5♥9♣J♣ kept Chisu in front while giving Korn a flush draw before the board finished out 7♠4♥ to confirm a double for the Romanian.
