Level 33 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

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♣ All in
Diogo Duarte: 8♣8♠ All in
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.
