Three-handed on a flop of A♦K♥9♠, Manuel Roca bet 18,000 from the small blind before Gabi Livshitz raised to 53,000 in the big blind. Martial Blangenwitsch then moved all in for 154,000 in the hijack.

Martial Blangenwitsch: A♠K♠
Manuel Roca: 9♦9♣
"Last nine in the deck, is all I can say," Livshitz said as Roca turned over a set of nines. Blangenwitsch was behind with two pair, but the A♣ fell on the turn to give him a full house. The river was the 7♣ and Blangenwitsch doubled up.

Pierre Calamusa raised to 12,000 in middle position before Oleksii Lazarchuk moved all in for 110,000 in the big blind. "I have aces. I'm going to film it for my YouTube channel," Calamusa said as he took out his phone and began taking a video as he called.
Oleksii Lazarchuk: 10♥10♣
Pierre Calamusa: A♣A♦
"This is worse than a slowroll," Lazarchuk said after finding out he was crushed holding two tens. The flop came 4♠K♥2♠, but the 10♦ fell on the turn to give Lazarchuk a set.
"Oh no," Calamusa yelled out, while the Q♠ fell on the river to give Lazarchuk a miracle double up.
"Get it on camera," Lazarchuk joked with Calamusa as the two players shared a laugh.

Nina Krasilnikova was all in for her last 217,000 from the small blind, and was at risk to Julien Vecchioli, who had called from the cutoff.
Nina Krasilnikova: K♣K♥
Julien Vecchioli: Q♦Q♠
Krasilnikova was ahead with her kings, and they stayed in front following the A♦8♥3♦ flop. The 4♦ turn had her worried as her opponent picked up a flush draw. She then breathed a sigh of relief, along with doing a small cheer, as the 5♣ river ensured her survival.
