On a board of 4♠6♠J♦J♣8♠ with roughly 180,000 in the pot, Simone Andrian in middle position moved all in for almost 240,000.
Mario Navarro Arrocha in the cutoff went deep into the tank, but he eventually called with J♥10♥ for trips. Andrian only had K♠Q♥, so Navarro Arrocha secured a double up, leaving Andrian with 70,000 chips.

On the feature table, Enzo Enzo opened from early position, then Ludovic Geilich in the hijack three-bet to 49,000. Yusuf Tekin called from the small blind, and so did Enzo.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♦3♣2♥, and Tekin directly moved all in for 120,000. Enzo called, prompting Geilich to fold 10♦7♦.
Yusuf Tekin: A♣6♣
Enzo Enzo: 2♠2♦
Enzo hit a set on the flop, then a full house with the 3♠. Tekin was drawing dead, so he was eliminated after the 5♣ river.
After an open to 20,000 by a player in middle position, Recep Aydemir called from the button, then Paul Runcan jammed for 163,000 in the big blind.
The initial raiser moved all-in as well for 302,000. Aydemir asked for the count, but folded.
Paul Runcan: A♦Q♦
Middle position player: A♥Q♣
Both players smiled when they discovered that they had the same hand, and Runcan's smile stayed on his face as he was lucky enough to hit a flush on 3♦2♥2♦J♦10♥ to double up.
Level: 8
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 10,000
Marian Mitran opened the action from middle position with a raise to 16,000. Andrey Pateychuk, with only 94,000 chips left, went all in. Szymon Bujok requested a count from the dealer and ultimately decided to call, as did Mitran. With three players involved and only one player all in, Mitran and Bujok continued playing without revealing their hands.
The flop revealed A♥6♠4♥, prompting Mitran to check-call Bujok's bet of 35,000 chips.
Both players opted to check through the 8♣ turn.
On the river, the A♦ appeared, and once again Mitran checked. Uncertain of his hand, Bujok also checked. However, with an all-in situation, all players were required to show their cards:
Andrey Pateychuk: 9♣9♦
Marian Mitran: K♥Q♥
Szymon Bujok: K♦K♠
Despite the presence of two aces on the board, Bujok didn't anticipate winning the hand, but his kings prevailed, allowing him to amass over 2,000,000 while Pateychuk was eliminated.
