"Unbelievable," David said in disgust upon seeing Loire's aces. The flop came A♣6♣4♥ and Loire made top set to leave David drawing incredibly thin to avoid elimination.

The board ran out Q♥2♦ and David was eliminated in 11th place. Predaroli then told Loire he folded ace-ten, indicating Loire had hit the last ace in the deck.
