Marek Rous was walking away from the table and all his chips were being pushed in Gediminas Grigas' direction.

The action was unknown but on a board of 7♥10♥A♠7♣7♦ with all the chips already in the middle, Rous showed a full house with A♦K♥K♠4♦ but was way behind the quads of Grigas who tabled J♦10♠9♦7♠.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dwayne Sluis limped in from middle position before Patrick Bueno raised to 45,000 in the hijack. Florian Surkamp called in the big blind, while Sluis also came along to see the Q♠5♠3♠ flop.

All three players checked and the turn was the 4♠. Bueno then bet 40,000 and only Surkamp called.

The river was the 8♣ and Bueno bet 120,000. Surkamp asked the dealer to spread the pot as he pondered the decision for a few minutes, eventually releasing his hand. Bueno showed A♠K♠K♥ as he took the pot.

"You were afraid of the straight flush, huh," tablemate Dario Alioto said to him after the hand.

At another table, Gediminas Grigas finally got the good hand he was looking for, picking up A♦A♥Q♥5♦ as he was all in for 121,000 against Marek Rous. The board ran out Q♦5♥6♠4♣10♠ to give Grigas two pair as Rous tossed two kings into the muck.

"Chip and a chair," a tablemate said to Grigas who doubled up after being knocked down to just 30,000 right before dinner.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There were around 60,000 chips in the middle on a board of K♦Q♠2♣5♣ when Nazar Diachok checked it over to Claudio Di Giacomo, who bet 50,000. Diachok then raised to 150,000, and Di Giacomo called.

When the 7♣ landed on the river, the rest of the chips went into the middle with Di Giacomo having the slightly covering stack of around 300,000.

Diachok showed A♠Q♦2♦2♥ for a flopped set, but that was no good as Di Giacomo had rivered a flush holding K♣8♥6♠3♣.

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With around 75,000 chips in the middle on a flop of 3♠Q♥10♥, Artur Teshaev committed his remaining stack of around 80,000 to the pot, and Martin Bartos put him at risk.

Artur Teshaev: A♥A♠J♣10♦ All in
Martin Bartos: J♥9♥8♠7♣

Bartos had flopped a straight flush draw but it was Teshaev's pocket aces that were in the lead, and they stayed there after the 2♠ turn. However, the J♦ on the river completed a straight for Bartos, which ended Teshaev's run.
