Christian Stricker Kohl raised it to 31,000 from the cutoff and Mazin Khoury re-raised all in for 325,000 from middle position. Kohl made the call and had Khoury seemingly dominated with {8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} to Khoury's {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}

The flop was kind to Khoury though as it came down {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} to give Khoury a set of sixes. The turn and river were {k-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Khoury doubled up to around 670,000.

One hand later, Michael Finstein moved all in for 262,000 on the button and Khoury made the call with {a-Spades}{9-Clubs}. Finstein showed {2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}

The flop again was kind to Khoury as it came {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{j-Clubs} to give him a pair of aces. The turn and river {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} were no help to Finstein and he is out in 15th place. Khoury however moved up to 1,000,000 in chips.
