Thomas Eychenne was all in for around 100,000 from the button and up against Felipe Ketzer in early position.
Thomas Eychenne: Q♦Q♣
Felipe Ketzer: A♣Q♠
Ketzer was left looking for an ace heading to the 8♣8♠5♦ flop. He didn't improve on the 9♦ turn, but the river came the A♠ and Ketzer hit his three outer as Eychenne made a quick exit.
"He's the best," Conor Beresford said from the other table.

Eduard Barsegyan raised to 15,000 in the small blind and Conor Beresford defended his big blind.
