Eric Rabut: A♥K♠
Bernard Guigon: 10♠10♥

Omar Lakhdari raised to 96,000 under the gun, leaving just 7,000 behind, and Javier Tsunamy called on the button.

The river was the 5♣ and Sole moved all in for 350,000. Vulcan spent several minutes in the tank before Sole eventually called the clock. Vulcan ended up tossing Q♠9♠ into the muck while Sole showed 5♥4♣ while taking the pot.
Alejandro Ganivet raised to 24,000 in the cutoff with 7♦5♥ and Javier Tsunamy called with 6♠6♣ in the small blind.
