Jean Quinoa opened to 6,500 from middle position and received a call from Abdelmajid El Hani in the big blind.
The flop came J♦10♥2♣ and El Hani check-called a 3,500 continuation bet from Quinoa.
Both players checked the J♥ turn and 5♣ river.
"Queen-Eight" El Hani announced. Quinoa revealed A♣Q♥ for ace-high to take the pot.
Despite the minor setback, El Hani is sitting on one of the biggest stacks in the room at just under 500,000.

The tournament staff has announced that four more hands will be played before players bag their chips.
Iryna Tsikhanskaya moved all in from the small blind for her last 29,000 and was called by Guillaume Darcourt in the big blind who covered her.
Iryna Tsikhanskaya: A♣9♦
Guillaume Darcourt: A♥5♦
Tsikhanskaya was in great shape to double up but the Q♥9♥4♥ flop gave Darcourt a ton of outs in the form of a flush draw. The 2♠ turn and Q♣ river were blanks and Tsikhanskaya secured a full double up right before the end of the night.
