Boris Kuzmanovic and Thomas Eychenne are heading to break in drastically different moods following their massive pot as the level ended.

Eychenne raised to 25,000 from under-the-gun and got three-bet to 75,000 by Kuzmanovic in the cutoff. Eychenne responded with a four-bet to 250,000. Kuzmanovic called and a massive pot that was about to get even bigger was brewing.

The flop came J♥J♣9♦ and Eychenne bet 125,000. Kuzmanovic called and the turn double-paired the board with the 9♠.

Eychenne bet again, this time for 200,000. Kuzmanovic called again with each holding between 300,000 and 400,000 chips for the river.

It was the 9♥, completing a full house on board. Eychenne moved all in, slightly covering Kuzmanovic who called and the massive cooler was revealed.

Boris Kuzmanovic: A♦A♠ All in
Thomas Eychenne: K♣K♦

The stacks were counted down, and Eychenne had just under 100,000 left after sending the massive double-up to Kuzmanovic.

Zabrodotskyi continued for 35,000 and got called by Hollak to see the 7♦ on the turn.

Again, Zabrodotskyi bet, this time for 90,000. Another call from Hollak followed.

The river brought the 4♦ and Zabrodotskyi moved all in, covering Hollak's roughly 360,000 remaining chips.

Zabrodotskyi showed J♥J♣ for two pair, jacks and fours. Hollak could only show 8♠8♦ for an inferior two pair which sent him out the door.

On the 9♠J♥6♥ flop, both players checked to see the 8♥ hit the turn. Sorainen bet 215,000, and Cunha called.

A 10♠ on the river made the board a little scary and Sorainen checked, then Cunha shoved for 354,000. Sorainen gave it some thought but eventually elected to call.

Cunha tabled Q♠Q♦ for a rivered straight, and Sorainen flashed J♣J♦ for top set.
