Nektarios Dimitrakis opened to 200,000 in the hijack, and Jyrki Hilakari moved all in from the cutoff. Ruben Padilla also shoved his stack of 600,000 from the big blind, and Dimitrakis took some time before folding while indicated that he had pocket tens.

Ruben Padilla: A♣7♠ All in
Jyrki Hilakari: Q♣Q♥

Padilla found no help on the J♣10♦2♦7♣J♥ runout, while Dimitrakis laughed after seeing a ten hit the board. Padilla was sent out in 20th position, indicating to the table that he didn't see Hilakari's shove before sending his stack into the middle.
