Action was on the river on a board of 3♥10♣J♦4♣Q♠ in an inflated pot worth several hundred thousand chips. Andreas Goeller checked and Antoine Saout pushed all in for 190,000. Goeller went into the tank before making the call.
Saout had A♠10♠ for a pair of tens that he'd turned into a bluff. Goeller had A♣Q♣ for a pair of queens to win the pot, sending Saout to the rail.
Goeller slammed his fists on the table in excitement several times, then got told to calm down by the floor. In any case, he chipped up to over 800,000 and put himself among the chip leaders as Day 2 drew to a close.

Conor Beresford raised to 8,000 in middle position and Ian Gascoigne called in the cutoff.
Beresford checked the A♥5♣4♥ flop and Gascoigne bet 20,000. Beresford then raised to 50,000, Gascoigne moved all in for 80,000, and Beresford called.
"I have two fives," Gascoigne said.
"If you really have two fives I'm in really bad shape," Beresford replied.
"I have no pair on the flop," Gascoigne then said.
"Everybody is lying," tablemate Ka Kwan Lau added.
"We're here on the bubble at the EPT Monte-Carlo Main Event, and we have an Englishman all in," Gascoigne then said, doing his best Toby Stone impression as he waited to turn his cards over.
Ian Gascoigne: A♦Q♥
Conor Beresford: 4♣4♠
Gascoigne didn't have a set but instead turned over top pair. Beresford, though, had a set of fours and Gascoigne was drawing dead after the J♣ turn. The river was the 10♦ and Gascoigne was eliminated on the money bubble.
The remaining 175 players are in the money.
