Mathieu Di Meglio moved all in from under the gun. Action folded around to Stephane Gabarre on the button who called as the covered stack.
Stephane Gabarre: A♥K♠
Mathieu Di Meglio: J♣J♦
A classic flip, Gabarre couldn't find any of his two overs across the 9♥8♣2♥ flop. Di Meglio's jacks held across the 8♦ turn and 5♣ river to sent Gabarre to the rail.
With two players seeing a board of 5♣J♥9♥A♣ and roughly 1,100,000 in the middle, Mathieu Di Meglio checked from the big blind and Ioannis Poullos bet 400,000 from the button. Di Meglio clicked it back to 800,000 and Poullos made the call.
Di Meglio bet 900,000 on the Q♥ river and Poullos moved all in, covering Di Meglio who had roughly 2,700,000 behind. Di Meglio weighed his options for a few minutes before deciding to fold and Poullos dragged in a substantial pot without showdown.

Javier Fernandez opened to 400,000 from middle position and Mathieu Di Meglio three-bet to 1,150,000 from the big blind. Fernandez moved all in for 3,400,000, sending Di Meglio into the tank.
After a couple minutes Di Meglio opted to fold and Fernandez took down a decent pot without having to see a flop.
