Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

What was reported back to PokerNews as a three-bet pot pre-flop, a sizable amount of chips found their way into the middle as the full board read A♦Q♠2♣6♣8♥.

Matthieu Mary, in the big blind, checked the action to Henrik Hovsepyan, on the button. Hovsepyan bet out 20,000 and Mary responded by moving all in for Hovsepyan's effective stack. Hovsepyan elected to make the call.

Henrik Hovsepyan: 6♦6♠ All in
Matthieu Mary: A♥A♠

Hovsepyan's turned set was no match for Mary's top set, sending him to the rail.
