Three-way on a flop of 5♣4♦4♣, with Nikolai Mamut and Julien Sitbon in the blinds and Patrick Lik-Tung Lui on the button, the action was checked around to see the 3♣ turn.
Mamut checked again, Sitbon bet 40,000 and forced Lui to fold, but Mamut responded with a check-raise to 135,000. After some thought, Sitbon made the call.
The 8♣ river completed the board and Mamut led out for 85,000. Sitbon called, placing his chips next to Mamut’s stack as if he was conceding the pot.
However, after Mamut tabled Q♣10♦, Sitbon quickly turned over K♣2♣ for the winning flush, took his chips back and scooped the pot.

From the button, Houssem Meftahi put his remaining 58,000 in the middle and the small blind got out of the way. Big blind Michael Tabone had a visible reaction to the decision he had to make, being unsure what to do.
After a brief moment, he flicked the chips in and immediately opened up his hand.
Houssem Meftahi: 8♥8♦
Michael Tabone: A♦6♦
The board ran out A♥10♠4♣7♦J♥ and the ace ended Meftahi's run in the Main Event.
