Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Benjamin Pollak opened to 65,000 from early position, committing nearly his entire stack. Thomas Eychenne called in the hijack and Boris Angelov called from the small blind.
The flop came A♣Q♣10♣ and action checked around to Eychenne who bet 40,000. Angelov got out of the way while Pollak called off for less.
"I think I have you" Pollak told his opponent before the cards were flipped over.
Benjamin Pollak: K♣J♦ 
Thomas Eychenne: A♥Q♠
Eychenne had a big hand with aces-up, but Pollak had flopped the nut straight. Eychenne was unable to fill up when the rest of the board ran out 7♦5♥ and Pollak dragged in a full triple up.

Vlastimil Pustina opened 20,000 under the gun and both Sirzat Hissou and Enrico Coppola came along in the blinds.
When the 10♣5♠2♠ flop hit the felt, Hissou check-raised a bet of 21,000 from Pustina to 55,000. Coppola quickly got out of the way, and Pustina made the call.
Both players checked the Q♦ turn, and when the A♦ hit the river, Hissou checked once again. Pustina used a time bank before announcing all in, putting Hissou to the test for the rest of his chips. After a short tank, Hissou mucked his hand.

The Q♦7♦6♣ flop hit the felt, and Green check-called a bet of 20,000 from Ding.
When the 8♣ fell on the turn, Green took the lead, firing 45,000 into the middle. Ding made the call.
The 5♥ completed the board on the river and both players tapped the table.
Green rolled 7♣7♠ for a set of sevens, and Ding mucked his hand.
"Pretty stupid runout," Green chuckled as he collected the pot.
