Heads-up on a flop of 5♣7♣Q♦ with 26,500 already in the pot, Thomas Santerne on the button bet 26,000, Daniel Pidun under the gun moved all-in for 59,000 and Santerne snap-called.
Daniel Pidun: K♦Q♥ 
Thomas Santerne: A♦Q♣
Both players flopped top pair, but Santerne had a better kicker and the situation remained unchanged with the 5♥9♣ runout.
Pidun was eliminated but immediately re-entered.
