Action folded to Romain Lewis in the cutoff, who opened to 9,000, receiving a call from Artur Martirosian on the button.

Action folded to Felipe Boianovsky in the big blind, who produced a three-bet to 38,000. Lewis took a time bank before moving all in for around 143,000, and Boianovsky, who had slightly more, made the quick call.

Romain Lewis: A♦K♠ All in
Felipe Boianovsky: J♦J♥

Boianovsky's jacks were ahead in a race and remained so after the 9♠2♣10♦ flop.

However, the A♣ rolled off on the turn to give Lewis the lead with a pair of aces, leaving Boianovsky drawing to a jack.

The river brought the J♣, Boianovsky spiking a two-outer, sending Lewis to the rail.
