Heads-up on a flop of Q♥4♣Q♣, Abraham Serrano bet 20,000 from the big blind and Remy Murcia called in the cutoff.

The turn was the 5♥ and Serrano bet 40,000. Murcia then raised to 150,000, sending Serrano into the tank.

He eventually flashed the Q♦ and tossed it into the muck. "Kicker," Serrano said.

"If you go all in, you win," Murcia told him as he took the pot.

At the same time at another table, Alireza Kashtiaray moved all in for around 80,000 from the big blind on a board of 2♠A♣6♠10♦ and Milos Skrbic called on the button.

Kashtiaray had K♥6♥ for a pair of sixes, while Skrbic had A♦9♦ for top pair. The river was the 6♣ and Kashtiaray hit trips to double up.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Around 70,000 was in the pot as four players went to a flop of 9♦3♣7♥. Bruno Desimoni then bet 22,000 from the small blind and Kuljinder Sidhu moved all in for 128,000 in the big blind.

Christophe Larquemin reshoved for 260,000 in middle position and Juan Gozalo Ares tanked for several minutes in the hijack before folding. Desimoni also folded.

Kuljinder Sidhu: K♣9♣ All in
Christophe Larquemin: 7♣7♠

Sidhu immediately stood up from his seat upon seeing Larquemin's set. The 4♣ turn left him one card away from elimination, while the J♣ fell on the river.

Desimoni had to point out to Sidhu that he had made a running flush, keeping him alive in the tournament as Sidhu sat back in his seat.
