Stephane Edme opened in middle position to 11,000 before Samuel Guillen cold-called on the button. It then folded to Senthuran Vijayaratnam in the big blind who put in a three-bet to 55,000. Edme flat called and then Guillen came from the top rope with a back jam for 165,000.
It was then on Vijayaratnam who went into the tank for a moment before rejamming. Edme got out of the way and the cards hit their backs.
Samuel Guillen: J♥J♠ 
Senthuran Vijayaratnam: Q♦J♦
It wasn't event a flip headed to the 9♣A♥6♠2♣2♦ board and Gullien would get more than a pure double.

James Pillon: J♦J♣
The full board ran out 6♥K♦8♥J♠9♥ and with middle set, Zhang sent Pillon to the rail about 15 spots from the money.

Senthuran Vijayaratnam opened in late position to 13,000 while on the soft bubble. Adam Posch had just found his seat after a table change and quickly called. The remaining players folded and they were off to a flop heads up.
The A♦2♠9♣ flop landed and Vijayaratnam continued for 17,000. Posch beat him into the pot.
The 8♦ landed on the turn and Vijayaratnam went for another bet of 35,000. Posch snap called again.
The 3♠ river landed and Vijayaratnam slowed down with a check. He was met again with a snap-bet of 40,000. He quickly found a fold after the hand seemed to take about 30-seconds total.
