Hael Al Labani opened to 17,000 from early position and got called by Flaviano Cammisuli on the button & Selvedin Besic in the big blind.
All three checked the 7♣A♣A♥ flop to the 8♣ turn where Labani bet 25,000 once it checked to him. Cammisuli called, and Besic folded.
Then 4♦ river went check-check, and Labani tabled K♠K♥ to scoop the pot.

Action was picked up with Luciano Frezza raising to 21,000 from the big blind against a call from Ankit Ahuja. Ahuja made the call.
He check-called a bet of 11,000 on the flop of 8♥A♠7♦ before both players checked the J♦ turn.
Another round of knuckles ensued on the 6♦ river. Ahuja showed A♥4♦ for top pair and Frezza mucked his hand.

Giuliano Pallado shoved the button for 41,000 and Josef Zoller reshoved from the small blind for 45,000. Ron Jeda was in the big blind and put in the extra chips, which put two players at risk.
Giuliano Pallado: 7♥7♦
Josef Zoller: A♠Q♣
Ron Jeda: J♥9♥
Pallado needed to dodge a lot of overcards if he wanted to survive, but wasn't able to as the 8♣K♦J♠10♥A♦ runout gave Zoller Broadway.
