Claudio Di Giacomo raised to 160,000 in the hijack, and Ivan Banic called in the big blind. Di Giacomo continued for 300,000 on the 9♦8♦2♦ flop, and Banic quickly folded.
The next hand, Artem Kobylynskyi shoved from the button and Banic called for 270,000 in the small blind.
Ivan Banic: A♣A♥ 
Artem Kobylynskyi: J♦10♦
Banic had picked up aces and improved to top set on the A♥10♣7♠ flop. Kobylynskyi ended up with two pair as the board ran out 5♠J♠, but it wasn't enough to avoid handing over the double.
