Leo Walker opened to 8,000 from hijack, and was faced with a three-bet to 22,000 from Alexander Maskell on the button. Action folded back to Walker, who pondered the spot for about 30 seconds before four-bet jamming with the covering stack.
Maskell quickly got his 183,000 total stack into the middle, causing Walker to query "Same hand?"
Alexander Maskell: K♣K♥ 
Leo Walker: A♥K♦
"Ahh, not quite" said Walker when he saw his opponent's cards.
Walker's Big Slick was in bad shape, and he was drawing dead by the turn on the K♠8♠2♣Q♥5♣ runout, Maskell flopping top set.

Francisco Jimenez opened to 8,500 from middle position, and received a call from Uwe Behrendt in the small blind.
On the K♥4♠3♠ flop, Behrendt led out with a bet of 6,000, which failed to shake off Jimenez.
Behrendt continued with another bet of 6,000 on the J♦ turn, and Jimenez again called.
The 4♥ river was checked through, and the pot went to Behrendt when he tabled 7♦7♣ for two pair, sevens and fours, and Jimenez mucked.

Alexander Maskell opened to 8,000 from middle position and Mihai Norocel defended the big blind.
On the 10♠7♦4♦ flop, Norocel check-called versus a bet of 10,000 from Maskell.
The J♠ turn and K♣ river were checked through. Norocel tabled A♦4♠ for a pair of fours, but Maskell was good with 8♥8♣.

Ferry Janssen opened to 9,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet to 20,000 from Tigran Piloyan in the next seat. Action folded back to Janssen, who took some time before producing a four-bet to 46,500.
Piloyan, who about 100,000 behind, went into the tank pondering his next move. After around two minutes, he announced all-in, and looked pained when Janssen snapped.
Tigran Piloyan: A♠Q♥
Ferry Janssen: K♦K♥
Piloyan was in trouble versus Janssen's cowboys, and the 9♥7♠5♣4♠4♦ runout did not provide him with any solace.

Yvonne Fuge opened to 10,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet to 28,000 from Ludovic Uzan in the next seat. Action folded back to Fuge, who four-bet jammed for 55,000. Uzan asked for a count and made the call.
Yvonne Fuge: Q♣Q♦
Ludovic Uzan: 10♦10♣
Fuge had Uzan crushed, and the 4♦4♣3♣ flop was clear.
However it was followed by the 10♥ turn to put Uzan in front with a full house, and the 10♠ river rubbed salt in Fuge's wounds.

Corentin Soulier was all-in for 20,000 and at risk versus Frank Stacker.
Corentin Soulier: J♦J♠
Frank Stacker: A♣A♦
Soulier was in trouble versus rockets, but he binked a two-outer on the J♥6♦5♦ flop, the Q♦ turn and 5♠ river failing to alter matters.
