Level 18
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mehdi Bennani moved all in for 74,000 in the hijack, Raphael Godard stuck in his last 200,000 from the big blind, while chip leader Alejandro Ganivet called on the button to put both players at risk.
Mehdi Bennani: 6♠6♦ 
Raphael Godard: A♦Q♥
Alejandro Ganivet: 8♦8♣
The A♣8♥2♠ flop gave Godard top pair, but Ganivet had spiked a set to take a big lead. The rest of the board ran out 3♣9♠ and Bennani and Godard were both sent to the rail, while Ganivet increased his stack up past 1,000,000.
