The cards were already on their backs on the K♥10♠4♠ flop when Javier Francort was all-in and at risk against Jan-Peter Jachtmann.
Javier Francort: A♦Q♣J♣9♦
Jan-Peter Jachtmann: A♥A♠5♥2♦
Jachtmann was ahead with aces against the straight draw of Francort, the latter of which missed on the 8♣ turn and 5♠ river despite holding a lot of equity.
"Finally I run good again, aces hold," Jachtmann mentioned in German.

Dorel Eldabach was all-in and at risk with A♦A♣6♥5♦ against the A♥A♠J♠5♣ of Jose Scarano, and this time, fortune was on his side on the 8♠7♦2♠J♦9♣ runout as Scarano's flush draw missed and Eldabach's straight draw came in.
"I lost a big pot like this before," Eldabach mentioned, referring to his knockout on the first bullet against Nikolaos Lampropoulos with aces versus aces preflop.
Moments later, Harald Casagrande was all-in for 29,900 on the Q♣3♣2♠4♦ turn against Nino Pansier.
Harald Casagrande: Q♦J♣8♣8♥
Nino Pansier: A♣K♣10♦7♣
Pansier had two over cards and clubs to beat the top pair of Casagrande. The river was the 8♦ and Casagrande doubled with a set of eights.

Badurowicz tabled A♦K♦Q♠6♣ for trip kings, and Kozub shook his head and tabled 8♣ for trip eights as he mucked.

On the river of a 10♥7♠3♠8♣8♠ board, Harald Casagrande in the big blind bet 26,000 with around twice as much behind. Jeremy Trojand on the button then raised the pot, and Casagrande went into the tank.
He ultimately sigh-folded and then groaned, "Sometimes, a table change is nice ... " after he had previously chipped up and was then a candidate to get moved away, but instead Max Neugebauer was the next big blind.
"I was sure you would call because you didn't have many chips behind," Trojand told Casagrande in German.

In the next hand, Dennis Weiss moved all in for 2,400 from under the gun, and received calls from Javier Francort in the next seat, Michael Tabarelli in the cutoff, and Krasimir Yankov on the button, before Bouwe Claushuis potted it to 14,800 from the small blind.
Francort and Yankov made the call to make it three active players to the 9♠7♦6♦ flop.
Claushuis checked, Francort fired out a pot-sized bet of 54,000, and Yankov snap jammed for around 130,000. Francort made the quick call, who was just covered by Yankov.
Dennis Weiss: 9♣9♦Q♥4♣
Javier Francort: Q♦J♦10♣9♥
Krasimir Yankov: A♦4♦7♠3♠
Weiss was ahead with top set nines. Francort had top pair, a flush draw, and a straight draw, while Yankov had second pair, a straight draw, and the nut flush draw.
The K♦ hit on the turn to propel Yankov into the lead with the flush, leaving Francort drawing dead, and Weiss did not fill up on the J♥ river.
An almost triple-up for Yankov, who proceeded to engage in a conversation with Claushuis as to who was ahead when the money went in, which seemed to have a slight edge to it.

Dennis Weiss opened to 5,600 from middle position, and Bouwe Claushuis defended the big blind.
On the 8♣6♥2♣ flop, Claushuis check-called a bet of 9,000 from Weiss.
The 6♦ rolled off on the turn, and the same pattern followed, this time in respect of a bet of 16,000 from Weiss.
The Q♣ river completed the board, and Claushuis changed approach, firing out a pot-sized bet of 63,600.
That was for almost all of Weiss's remaining stack, and he took a fair bit of time before calling.
Claushuis said, "House," and tabled Q♥J♥6♣3♣ for sixes-full.
Weiss said, "Not like that!" and mucked.
