Samir Rahal was all in for 111,000 from middle position and up against Javier Caballo in the cutoff.
Samir Rahal: A♣Q♠ 
Javier Caballo: J♥J♦
Rahal was racing for his tournament life as the flop came 7♠A♦8♣. "Yes. So far," Rahal yelled out as he hit top pair. The turn was the 5♣ to keep him in the lead.
His optimism proved short-lived, however, as Caballo spiked the J♠ on the river to make a set and send Rahal to the rail.

Valeriano Toledano: A♦5♦
Javier Caballo: Q♦Q♣
Toledano was drawing dead by the turn on the J♠7♦4♣Q♠2♥ runout and made his exit from the tournament area while Caballo raked in a pot worth well over 100 big blinds.

Heads-up on a flop of K♣9♥5♠, Danilo Velasevic bet 38,000 from the cutoff, Derk van Luijk raised to 175,000 under the gun, and Velasevic called.
The turn was the 3♥ and van Luijk moved all in. Velasevic pondered the decision for around 30 seconds before calling for 179,000.
He showed A♥A♣, while van Luijk had A♦K♠. The river was the 5♥ and Velasevic's aces held up to earn him a massive double up.
After the hand, tablemate Boris Angelov picked up Velasevic's aces and pretended to put them under his sleeve.
"Easy life," Velasevic joked with Angelov.
