Moments ago, Matthew Staples was the chip leader but had run kings into the aces of Felipe Boianovsky to move back to just over starting stack.

He was in a hand against Kimmo Fagerholm, with Staples check-calling 26,000 on a board of {7-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}.

The river was the {8-Clubs}. Staples checked again and Fagherholm shoved for around 62,000. Staples snap-called.

Fagerholm held {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for top pair, but Staples had flopped a set with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} and chipped back up to 350,000.
