Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Christian Alilovic raised to 4,000 in early position, Demosthenes Kiriopoulos moved all in for 30,000 on the button, and Alilovic called.
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: A♣9♣ 
Christian Alilovic: 8♣8♥
The board ran out Q♣10♦4♠3♦7♥ and Alilovic's two eights stayed in the lead to send Kiriopoulos to the rail.
At the same time at another table, a massive pot of around 100,000 had already developed between Yohan Figueiras and Fabrice Bigot with the board showing 5♥5♠J♠8♠6♠.
Figueiras moved all in for 66,000 in the hijack and Bigot, in middle position, tanked for several minutes until the clock was called. Bigot allowed the countdown to nearly reach zero before calling.
Figuerias turned over 8♥8♦ for a full house and Bigot sent pocket kings into the muck.
