Anze Smajd put his final 310,000 chips into the pot with an all-in, and Matt Affleck went all in over the top. Luis Faria, who had the most chips of the three, made the call.

Anze Smajd: A♦A♠All in
Matt Affleck: A♣Q♦All in
Luis Faria: 10♣10♠

Affleck was in jeopardy, needing to at least beat Faria in a race for the side pot to stay alive. The runout of 5♣9♥6♣J♠2♦ didn't help him, as the pocket pairs held. Smajd tripled up and Faria got twice his investment back from the side pot.
