Szabolcs Kukucska raised to 12,000 under the gun before Michael Adam three-bet the button to 30,000. Daniel Elhaiany four-bet jammed from the big blind for 191,000 and Kukucska called for his stack of 124,000. Adam tank-folded and the cards were revealed with Kukucska at risk.
Szabolcs Kukucska: A♥K♠ 
Daniel Elhaiany: Q♠Q♣
Kukucska needed to connect with his big slick if he was to remain in the tournament. The dealer delivered a board of 5♦10♣A♠4♥8♠ to give Kukucska the best hand with a pair of aces, and he doubled up.
