Pärssinen was a massive favorite with top two pair and a straight draw. He remained ahead when the rest of the board ran out 2♦7♠ to score another double up.
Jonathan Bowers limped in and Eelis Pärssinen moved all in for 395,000 on the button. Joshua Adkins in the small blind, Elie Nakache in the big blind and Bowers called. The action players checked down the entire board of J♠9♥8♣6♣6♦.
Pärssinen's A♦A♣10♥6♥ for trips sixes with an ace kicker chopped with the A♠6♠5♥4♠ of Adkins and the next short stack survived.
Eelis Pärssinen opened to 420,000 from early position, committing a little less than half of his stack, and David Benyamine defended from the big blind.
The flop came K♣J♦10♠. Benyamine bet 1,100,000 and Pärssinen, with a pained expression on his face, opted to fold.
David Benyamine limped from under the gun and Elie Nakache did so from the cutoff, Jonathan Bowers called from the small blind and table short stack Krzysztof Magott checked in the big blind.
On the A♥J♦4♠ flop, it checked to Nakache and he bet 200,000. Bowers check-raised to 800,000 for Magott and Benyamine to fold. Nakache called and then called another two bets for 400,000 on the 4♥ turn and 700,000 on the 5♦ river.
"Full house," Bowers declared and tabled the 7♥5♣4♦3♣. Nakache, however, had that beat with the Q♥J♣8♠4♣ and almost closed the gap to Bowers.
