Casagrande Back Up; Cowen on Fumes
After losing half of his stack, Dorel Eldabach had taken a break and returned to a single-raised three-way pot with Harald Casagrande and Nikolaos Lampropoulos. They checked all the way to the K♣Q♣Q♦3♣9♥ river, on which Casagrande bet 7,000 and got two folds.
That was the last hand before the dinner break, but at the same time, a pot of 22,500 had emerged one table over with the turn showing A♣Q♦10♣7♠.
Javier Francort checked from the small blind, and Robert Cowen bet 21,200. Francort check-raised all in for 65,400, and Cowen very reluctantly called for the vast majority of his stack.
Javier Francort: K♣J♥6♥5♠ 
Robert Cowen: A♦K♦K♠8♦
Francort had flopped Broadway to overtake Cowen's pocket kings. Cowen needed a jack to chop, but the 2♥ river was a blank to leave him on fumes.
