Action was picked up when Jean-Noel Thorel reraised all in preflop after Adrian Mateos had opened. The players showed their holdings and Thorel had the best of it but was covered.
Jean Noel Thorel: A♠A♣
Adrian Mateos: A♥K♠
The flop of 8♠2♦6♥ was as good as it gets for Thorel's aces and only running kings would mean Mateos would win. The turn 8♣ confirmed the double up for Thorel, who made a full house on the 8♥ river.
