Pavlos Benakis was getting up out of his chair looking slightly stunned, and his stack was being passed to Davide Raschella.
Benakis had 2♥2♣ and had flopped a set on A♠5♣2♦, but Raschella's K♠9♠ went runner-runner on the J♠ turn and 6♠ river to make the flush.

Lukas Robinson opened from the button, and called a three-bet to 14,000 from Veeti Tikkanen in the big blind.
Tikkanen continued with a bet of 10,000 on the J♣7♠4♦ flop, which failed to shake off Robinson.
The Q♣ turn was checked to the 6♦ river, where Tikkanen jammed with the covering stack. Robinson had 32,000 behind, and made a quick call, saying "It's jacks or nothing."
Tikkanen tabled A♠7♥ for a pair of sevens, and Robinson secured the double-up with K♣Q♦ for top pair queens.
