Miguel Capriles raised to 85,000 under the gun and Alexandros Kolonias called on the button. Leon Zeaiter then moved all in from the small blind and Capriles aggressively slammed down his last 775,000.

Miguel Capriles: A♦K♠ All in
Leon Zeaiter: A♣J♥

Capriles had Zeaiter dominated, and the Q♠8♠3♥5♣2♠ board provided no help to the German while Capriles doubled up.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Kestutis Jungevicius raised to 80,000 in early position and Diego De Martino called in the hijack. Enrico Coppola folded K♦J♠ on the button, while Andreas Goeller also came along in the big blind.

The flop came 10♥7♣4♠ and Jungevicius bet 150,000. De Martino raised to 375,000 and Goeller folded, but Jungevicius moved all in and De Martino called for 1,725,000.

Diego De Martino: K♠K♣ All in
Kestutis Jungevicius: A♠A♥

De Martino turned around to his rail in dejection and got up from his seat after finding out he had run kings into aces. Since Coppola had already folded a king, De Martino was left with just one out heading to the river after the 8♣ turn. Miraculously, the K♥ fell on the river and De Martino raised his arms into the air and ran over to celebrate with his rail after spiking his one-outer to stay alive.
