Girard Snaps Off Zamani; Blom Puts Hrabec in Agony
Omar Eljach raised to 12,000 under the gun before Martin Zamani three-bet to 40,000 in middle position. Hughes Girardi then four-bet to 100,000 in the cutoff and Eljach folded, while Zamani moved all in. Girard snap-called for 410,000.
Hugues Girard: A♥A♠ 
Martin Zamani: A♦K♥
Zamani picked up a straight draw heading to the river on a board of 10♠4♦7♦J♠, but Girard's aces held up on the 9♣ river as he earned a double up.
At another table, Viktor Blom raised to 14,000 under the gun and Roman Hrabec three-bet to 40,000 in middle position. Blom then moved all in for 323,000.
Hrabec ripped off his hood and spent several minutes in the tank with a pained look on his face. He eventually surrendered the pot to Blom.
"Ah, the ace-queen agony," tablemate Sebastian Langrock said.
"It wasn't ace-queen. He probably had ace-three, but I'm going to give it to him anyway," Hrabec replied.
