Sergio Brignoli: Q♣10♣

Heads-up on a flop of 9♣10♦6♥, Andreas Vlachos bet 31,000 from middle position and Imre Karpati called in early position.
The turn was the 5♥ and Vlachos moved all in for around 50,000. Karpati took a minute before calling with 8♣8♦, but he found himself behind Vlachos' Q♣Q♦.
The river was the 7♦ and Karpati slammed the table after making a straight to win the pot. Vlachos laughed off the bad beat and made his way to the exit.
"Why couldn't I have a board like that when he had aces," Robert Schiffbauer said, reminiscing over his pot against Emanuel Flesner earlier.

Olivier Murrachioli was all in for 105,000 from the hijack, Fabrice Bigot shoved for his last 90,000 on the button, and George Tomescu had both opponents covered and at risk in early position.
Fabrice Bigot: A♠K♠
Olivier Murrachioli: A♦A♥
George Tomescu: A♣K♥
Murrachioli was poised to take the three-way all in with his aces as the flop came Q♠K♦7♦. The turn, though, was the K♣ and both Bigot and Tomescu caught the last king in the deck to make trips.
The river was the 3♠ and Tomescu and Bigot split the pot while Murrachioli stopped to snap a photo of the board before heading for the exit.
"I think this is some of the most disgusting stuff I've seen. I think it's worse than aces over aces," Bigot said.
