Ace from Space Saves Thalmann
Level 5
: Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
An early position player opened to 1,100, and Karim Benamrouche called in a middle position as Robert Thalmann called in the hijack.
Jonathan Hubert then three-bet to 6,200 on the button and the early position player and Benamrouche both called. Thalmann then four-bet jammed for 25,000 and Hubert re-shoved a bigger stack. The early position player folded and Benamrouche called off for around 12,000.
Karim Benamrouche: 3♠3♣ 
Robert Thalmann: A♦Q♦
Jonathan Hubert: 10♠10♦
The 6♣K♦9♣ flop and 4♥ turn kept Hubert ahead with tens, but the A♣ landed on the river to give Thalmann the winner for a near triple-up as Benamrouche hit the rail.
