Following an open-raise to 12,000 from under the gun, Gianfranco Iaculli called, then Constantin Cirstea three-bet to 37,000. Jeremie Zouari called in the small blind, the original raiser folded, and Iaculli also made the call.
The flop came A♦4♣A♠ and action checked to Cirstea, who continued with a bet of 65,000. Zouari used two time bank cards before making the call, further inflating the pot.
Iaculli then check-raised to 150,000 and Cirstea moved all in for 275,000. Zouari quickly folded and the decision was back on Iaculli, who sighed and went into the tank himself before opting to call.
Iaculli had A♥10♣ for trip aces, but Cirstea was ahead as he flipped over A♣K♥ for trip aces with a higher kicker.
The turn came the 6♦ and river the 7♠. Cirstea held to pull in a huge pot that brought his stack up to around 700,000.

Action was on the flop on a board of 10♠A♥3♠ with around 80,000 in the middle when Kestutis Jungevicius made an over-shove of nearly two times the pot against Fahredin Mustafov, who made the call for 158,000. Players revealed their cards.
Fahredin Mustafov: A♠9♠
Kestutis Jungevicius: A♦6♦
"What is this?" asked Mustafov.
Both players had a pair of aces. Mustafov had the higher kicker as well as a flush draw. The turn came the 5♦ and the 5♠ river completed Mustafov's flush to give him the double up.
"Merry Christmas," said one of his tablemates.
Jungevicius said he was bluffing, but Mustafov replied that he was never folding.
