Action was caught on the river with just over 40,000 in the pot on the Q♠4♣10♠6♠7♠ board.
Antonios Roungeris checked from the big blind, prompting the button to move all in as the much bigger stack. Roungeris had around 9,300 behind and committed his stack after some decision time.
The button tabled K♦7♥ for a pair of sevens but Roungeris had a flush with his 10♦9♠.

Action was recapped by the table in a limped pot between Rangimarie Coromandel in first position and another player in early position.
The board read Qx9x2xQx and both players got their chips in the middle in a pot worth 105,000.
Rangimarie Coromandel: 9x9x
Opponent: 2x2x
The river 6x did not change anything and Coromandel's nines full of queens held up as the best hand against his opponent's twos full of queens and he doubled up.
