Action was on the flop on a board of 4♥10♦8♦ and the chips were piled into the middle. Iulian-Petrut Petrache was all in for around 1,200,000 and Tuan Le was all in with the covering stack.
Petrache had K♣K♠ for an overpair, but wasn't out of trouble yet as Le showed 9♦6♦ for a straight flush draw that gave him a whole load of outs.
The turn came the Q♥ and the river was also a blank, the 5♥. Petrache held with his pocket kings to win the pot and double up his stack.

Picking up the action on the river on a board of K♦5♠3♥9♦7♦ with around 600,000 already in the pot, Michel Molenaar checked and Christopher Brammer made a large bet of around 400,000.
