and Gary Hasson (big blind) and Tom Vogelsang (early position) both checked to Boutboul. He bet 2,800 and Hasson called the bet. Vogelsang had different plans and raised it up to 10,000.
Boutboul got out of the way and Hasson followed suit moments later.
Vogelsang opened the
and said: ''No bluffing at this table!'' before he raked in the pot.
Paul Michaelis was seen leaving the tournament area but walked past his friend Robert Heidorn to explain what had happened:
"I ran my stack back up to 32,000 after being down to 4,000 at one point. We both had a set, I had fives, he (Kimmo Kurko) had jacks. All the money went in on the river."
A short-stacked Jozef Bartalos was all in for his last 11,500 and Patrik Antonius came along with the call.

A frenzy was going on over on Table 24, where all players were frantically scrambling for their phones to film one of the most incredible bad beats that just transpired in front of their eyes. Three hands were tabled on a ![]()

board, showing the following hands:
Antoine Vranken: ![]()

Florian Ribouchon: ![]()
![]()
Lukasz Grossmann: ![]()

While Ribouchon had flopped top full and Vranken trip sixes, it would be Grossmann who ended up with a runner-runner perfect to scoop the pot with quads.
Vranken, who got eliminated in the hand, relayed to PokerNews that Grossmann had raised from middle position and both he and Ribouchon had called from the blinds. Both flop and turn got checked around — each of the three players sneakingly trying to trap the other.
All the fireworks happened on the river: Ribouchon bet 4,500, Vranken raised to 10,000, Grossmann shoved all in for 28,400, Ribouchon came over the top with his sevens full, and Vranken called all in for his remaining 25,400. Grossmann scooped up the miracle pot, while Ribouchon will have a bad beat story for the ages to tell.
