Fahad El Mechraa: A♦10♦
Romain Lewis: K♣K♦

Shortly after doubling up in a previous hand, Romain Lewis was all in again, shoving for his last 1,360,000 from the hijack. Diogo Duarte, on the button, covered Lewis and moved all in himself. Soufiane Messadek, in the big blind, snap-called and had both players at risk.
Romain Lewis: Q♣10♣
Diogo Duarte: 8♣8♠
Soufiane Messadek: A♣K♥
The K♠Q♥10♦ flop gave Lewis two pair and put him in the lead while pairing up Messadek to put him in pole position for the side pot. The 9♠ turn and 7♠ river confirmed Lewis' triple up. Duarte lost the side pot to Messadek and was sent to the rail.

The player under the gun raised, Valentin Pinault three-bet to 320,000 from the hijack and Luigi Macaluso cold four-bet to 1,000,000, from the button. The original raiser folded and Pinault called.
Pinault checked at the sight of the K♦2♥8♥ flop. Macaluso moved all in, instantly, for Pinault's effective stack of 1,100,000 and Pinault went deep into the tank.
Unfortunately, one-half of the PokerNews team cannot speak French, so the nearly seven minutes of table talk exchanged between Macaluso and Pinault was missed. As translated later by a neutral player at the table, Pinault was reported to have said "Either I bust or I have four million chips", without showing concern for laddering. Pinault made the call.
Valentin Pinault: J♥J♣
Luigi Macaluso: A♦A♥
The turn and river fell the 6♣ and Q♠ respectively and Pinault was sent to the rail in this huge pot.
