There was a three-way all in at Table 15 involving 2023 champion Simon Wiciak, Cesar Del Pino and Andreas Goeller, who had both opponents covered.

Simon Wiciak: A♥Q♥ All in
Cesar Del Pino: A♦K♣
Andreas Goeller: K♦J♥

The flop of 3♠3♦10♥ missed everyone, but the 3♥ turn gave Wiciak some hope with a flush draw. However, the river brought the offsuit J♦ to stun Wiciak and Del Pino as Goeller scored a double knockout.

"It was a nice jack on the river," said Niklas Astedt, who revealed he also held ace-queen.
