Jeremie Zouari raised to 200,000 from early position and Igor Yaroshevskyy three-bet to 500,000. Action folded back around to Zouari, who made the call.
The flop came K♣A♠5♦. Zouari checked and Yaroshevskyy put out a bet that was worth the rest of Zouari's stack. Zouari made the call and players flipped their cards.
Jeremie Zouari: A♣5♣
Igor Yaroshevskyy: A♦J♥
Yaroshevskyy had a pair of aces with the jack kicker. Zouari, however, had made two pair on the flop.
The turn came the 7♥ and the river was the A♥ to complete Zouari's full house. He doubled up to around 2,500,000 chips.

Igor Yaroshevskyy min-raised to 200,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Jeremie Zouari, who three-bet to 525,000. Yaroshevskyy moved all in and Labat quickly called, with Yaroshevskyy at risk.
Igor Yaroshevskyy: Q♦Q♥
Jeremie Zouari: A♥K♣
It was exactly the kind of race to be expected at this point in the tournament. Yaroshevskyy had pocket queens and Zouari had ace-king.
The board ran out 3♦9♣Q♣10♥J♦.
The queen on the flop gave Yaroshevskyy a set and Zouari was drawing very thin. The turn brought him a few more outs and the J♦ river completed Zouari's straight.
Gasps sounded out from around the table. Yaroshevskyy got up to leave. Boika got up to console him. Zouari scooped his chips, which now totalled 4,700,000.
"He doesn't need the money, that's the problem." said Antoine Labat. "When you don't need the money it's easy!"
Yaroshevskyy was eliminated in eighth place for €20,700 (€31,950 including bounties).

Anton Kraous opened to 240,000 first to act, and Ignacio Sole Aparicio called on his direct left. Antoine Labat and Jeremie Zouari also called from the cutoff and the button. The blinds scoffed at their hands, despite getting a good price and folded.
Kraous continued for 350,000 on the Q♣10♣2♥ flop, and everyone folded. Kraous then flashed a red queen before collecting the pot.
