: Blinds 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante
Max Deveson raised from under the gun to 7,000 and Naji Tannoury three-bet the small blind to 27,000. When it got back to Deveson, he shoved, which gave Tannoury a decision for his stack of around 250,000. After thinking it over, Tannoury picked up his stack and slammed it into the middle.
Naji Tannoury: 8♥8♦ 
Max Deveson: K♣K♥
Tannoury was way behind with his pocket eights and desperately needed to see a Snowman to survive. However, the runout of 6♥4♥9♠4♦3♥ offered no help, which meant Tannoury was eliminated.

Marco Leonzio raised from the hijack to 7,500 and Johan Guilbert three-bet from the button to 21,500. Once the blinds folded, Leonzio called.
They both saw a flop of 8♣4♥5♣ where Leonzio checked and Guilbert fired out 37,000. After a brief pause, Leonzio called.
A 10♦ dropped on the turn and again Leonzio checked in flow, only to then be faced with a chunky bet of 92,000 from Guilbert. Leonzio had been clutching his cards tightly, but swiftly released that grip and folded, which meant Guilbert was pushed the pot.

An 8♦ landed on the river and again State checked, then Koering threw a white chip into the pot, a bet of 25,000. State pondered for some time before he eventually settled on a call.
