Diego Montone: A♦K♦
Scott Margereson: Q♥Q♣
The board ran out 4♣10♠6♣5♣9♦; this classic tournament flip fell in the favour of Margereson as his queens held to send Montone to the rail.

The EPT High Roller is now hand for hand on the stone bubble. The next player who busts will walk away with nothing. The rest will cash for at least €20,000.
Action folded around to Anton Suarez, who moved all in from the button against the shorter stacks in the blinds. Antoine Labat looked down at his cards and then placed his chips in the middle, calling for 135,000. The players flipped their cards.
Antoine Labat: Q♣Q♦
Anton Suarez: 7♥7♦
The board ran out 2♦J♦3♣6♥7♠. Labat was ahead with his pocket queens, but the river brought the seven to give Suarez a set. Labat was eliminated one away from the money bubble.
Kubanychbek Abakirov and Salih Atac checked to the river on a board of 8♠10♠J♥A♠8♣ when Atac led out for 15,000 in the big blind.
Abakirov then raised to 76,000 on the button and Atac snap-called. Abakirov turned over 8♥7♦ for rivered trips.
"So lucky, every time," Atac said as he shot back in his seat and mucked A♣10♣.
"Not every time," Abakirov replied.

Tsz Him Chan: 5♣5♦

Tsz Him Chan: K♦Q♣
Luke Marsh: 5♥5♠
The flop came J♣9♣2♥ and Chan picked up a straight draw to go with his two overcards. The turn was the J♠, while the 9♠ river put two pair on the board and counterfeited Marsh's fives as Chan doubled up with his king-kicker.
Jean-Vincent Lehut raised to 22,000 from middle position. Simon Mattsson called on the button.

Diogo Coelho: 10♣10♠
The board ran out J♦3♠3♥A♣8♠ and Hartmann's queens earned him a double up near the money bubble.
Pascal Hartmann opened to 20,000 from the hijack, and only Tomas Jozonis called him from the big blind.

On the river K♠, nobody bet and Jozonis showed K♥Q♣ for top pair. Hartmann pushed his cards into the muck when he saw his hand.
