Following an under the gun raise, Ryszard Skowronek called in late position, the small blind called, and Lampros Vlachos called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♣6♣K♦ and action folded around to Skowronek, who made it 5,000 to go. Vlachos was the only one to make the call and so two players went to the turn.
The turn came the 8♠. Vlachos checked and Skowronek bet 10,500, which Vlachos called.
The river was the A♦ and Vlachos shoved all in for around a pot sized bet. Skowronek made the call and players flipped their cards.
Skowronek showed K♠10♦ for two pair kings and tens. Vlachos, however, had the better hand, flipping over A♣10♠ for two pair with aces and tens. He won the pot and Skowronek was eliminated.

Following a middle position raise, Eftychios Georgiou reraised to 8,500 and Lois Dufouleur four-bet to 23,000. Georgiou made the call and two players went to the flop.
The flop came J♣4♣3♠. Georgiou checked and Dufouleur continued for 25,000, which Eftychios called.
The turn was the 7♥ and Georgiou moved all in for 96,500 effective, the rest of Dufouleur's stack. It didn't take long for Dufouleur to make the call.
Georgiou showed 7♠6♣ for a pair of sevens with a backdoor straight draw. Dufouleur showed K♠K♣ for pocket kings.
The river came a blank and Dufouleur's kings held to give him a huge double up, bringing his stack to above 200,000 and moving him into one of the top positions as the flight draws to a close.
