Hossein Ensan

Alexandros Kolonias shoved from the button with a stack that covered both the blinds. Hossein Ensan looked at his cards in the small blind and decided to make the call for his last 1,900,000. After the big blind folded the cards were turned over with Ensan at risk.

Hossein Ensan: K♣9♦ All in
Alexandros Kolonias: A♠J♦

Ensan needed some help from the dealer to have a chance of making the final table. The flop fell 3♠6♣9♥ to give Ensan top pair. But the J♥ on the turn meant he was one card away from elimination. The river was the 6♦, and Ensan headed to the cashier's desk to collect his payout.

Daniel Heredi made it 1,000,000 from early position, and Mounim Kaddouri called from the cutoff.

The 2♦ landed on the river, prompting Heredi to put Kaddouri all in for his last 6,700,000. Kaddouri wasted no time in calling the remainder of his stack off.

Heredi confidently showed top pair with K♠10♠, but lost the pot to Kaddouri's overpair with Q♠Q♥.

Alexandros Kolonias opened to 1,000,000 on the button and Daniel Thaller called from the big blind.

On the 3♥9♣J♦ flop, Thaller checked and Kolonias fired 800,000. Thaller then check-raised, Kolonias snap-shoved for 19,000,000, and Thaller snap-called!

Daniel Thaller: A♣J♥ All in
Alexandros Kolonias: A♠K♣

Out of nowhere, there was a 40,000,000 + chip pot up for grabs and Thaller was in the driving seat to take it all!

The runout of 2♦2♥ changed nothing and just like that, Thaller soared up the counts while Kolonias was left with around 10,000,000.
