Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Three players brewed a pot of about 500,000 before the A♦5♥5♣ flop, and Lucas Greenwood checked from the big blind before Gytis Lazauninkas checked the cutoff, and Rania Nasreddine checked as well on the button.

The 3♠ fell on the turn and the action checked to Nasreddine as she dropped 300,000 across the line. Greenwood quickly folded, but Lazauninkas stuck around with a call.

The board completed with the 9♠ on the river, and both players tapped the table. Lazauninkas tabled A♥4♣ for aces and fives, and Nasreddine looked stunned as she stared as his hand. After a couple of seconds, she checked her cards one more time and tossed them into the muck.

Level 17 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mate Hanusi moved all in for 750,000 in early position and Marius Gierse called in the hijack. Ermo Kosk then reraised to 2,500,000 in the small blind, forcing Gierse from the pot and leaving Kosk heads-up with a chance to bust Hanusi.

Mate Hanusi: A♣K♥ All in
Ermo Kosk: J♦J♥

Hanusi was racing with a chance to triple up, but he missed the 10♦7♥4♥5♥6♣ board as Kosk's jacks held up to send Hanusi to the rail.
