Oliver Mihajlovski was getting up out of his chair looking stunned, and Federico Petruzzelli was celebrating, after Petruzzelli's K♣Q♣ overcame Mihajlovski's J♥J♦ on the K♦J♣6♦A♣7♣ runout, the chips presumably hitting the middle on the flop.

Federico Petruzzelli opened to 23,000 from early position, and received calls from Ivan Lo Monaco in the next seat, and Franky Green in the big blind.
Action was checked to Lo Monaco on the A♣7♥6♦ flop, who fired out a bet of 17,000.
Both of his opponents called to see the 7♠ turn, where action was again checked to Lo Monaco. He slid out a double-barrel of 35,000. Green folded but Petruzzelli called.
The same process followed on the 6♠ river, this time in respect of a bet of 65,000 from Lo Monaco.
Petruzzelli called and tabled A♠8♦, and that was good versus Lo Monaco's J♠10♠.
Level: 12
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 10,000
Kim Nielsen was all-in for around 309,000 and at risk against Antonis Poulengeris, who just covered him.
Kim Nielsen: 9♣9♠ 
Antonis Poulengeris: K♣K♦
Nielsen was crushed, and Poulengeris made a straight across the Q♦J♣10♦3♠A♣ runout.
Pavle Pecelj opened to 16,000, and called off for his total stack of 80,000 versus a three-bet jam from Christian Guida with the covering stack.
Pavle Pecelj: Q♠Q♣
Christian Guida: A♦K♦
It was the classic race, but the king was in the window on the K♣5♣2♣ flop. Pecelj had outs to the flush, but bricked the 9♦ turn and 4♦ river.
Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Anders Nilsson all-in for 76,000 and at risk against Tomas Major.
Anders Nilsson; 9♣9♦
Tomas Major: A♠A♣
Nilsson had run into a monster, and there was no escape on the K♠10♦7♦Q♥J♦ runout, Major ending up with a better one-card straight than his opponent.
Alessandro Siena was all-in for 137,000 and at risk against Tina Christensen.
Alessandro Siena: J♥J♦
Tina Christensen: 6♣6♠
Siena was in great shape, and there were no surprises on the 9♣5♦2♥3♣7♣ runout, despite a minor sweat on the turn.
