Erdal Gulseven moved all in for 255,000 on the button as action folded to Boris Smuskevicius in the big blind. "First card is an ace," he said as he slowly peeled his cards.

Erdal Gulseven: A♦J♣
Boris Smuskevicius: A♣K♠
Smuskevicius had Gulseven dominated and stayed in front on the Q♣4♣5♥6♠A♥ board to send him to the rail.

With around 315,000 in the pot on a board of 4♣2♦7♣9♦, Armand Matti bet 350,000 from the cutoff and Maher Achour moved all in under the gun. Matti snap-called for around 980,000.
"If you have more than one pair, you win," Achour told Matti as they waited to turn over their cards.
Achour eventually showed A♠A♦, but Matti had 4♠4♥ for a set and was poised for a massive double up. The river, though, was the A♣ and a loud gasp arose from the large crowd surrounding the table as Achour hit a set of aces. Matti stopped to snap a photo of the board, then leaned across the table to shake Achour's hand before heading for the exit.

On the hand after doubling up, Armand Matti opened to 40,000 in the cutoff and Fausto Tantillo three-bet to 400,000, leaving himself just 10,000 behind. Matti then moved all in and Tantillo put in his last chips.
