Ekrem Sanioglu led out for 8,000 with the board reading {7-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}. Philipp Gruissem raised to 18,000, and Sanioglu made the call.

The {3-Clubs} completed the board, and Sanioglu reached for a handful of pink T5,000 chips, tossing out 40,000. Gruissem furrowed his brow, uncertain of what to do, but eventually made the call.

"Good call," Sanioglu told him without turning his cards over.

Gruissem didn't move.

Finally, Sanioglu smiled and turned over {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} for the nut flush. Gruissem forced a smile, and mucked.

Tristan Wade was all in and at risk preflop holding {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} against the {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} of Idris Ambraisse. The {2-Spades}{3-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop gave Wade a backdoor straight draw, and the {4-Hearts} on the turn kept it alive.

"Six!" Ambraisse shouted.

The river was not a six however, it was the {10-Spades}, eliminating Wade from the tournament.

"Nice hand," Wade offered politely. "Good luck everyone."
