Artsiom Dzekhtsiarou just won a huge pot of over half a million just before the dinner break, increasing his stack to around 600,000 and sending Thomas Alfred Mayer to the rail.

The action was picked up with Mayer's stack in the middle on the turn of a board showing 4♥K♥8♦2♦, with already plenty of chips in the pot and Dzekhtsiarou trying to win it all with a slightly bigger stack.

Thomas Alfred Mayer: K♦Q♥ All in
Artsiom Dzekhtsiarou: 8♥8♣

Mayer had top pair, but he was drawing dead against the set of snowmen in Dzekhtsiarou's hand.

An irrelevant 6♣ completed the board, sending Mayer to the rail and propelling Dzekhtsiarou up the chip counts.
