With around 55,000 chips in the pot on a board of 9?8?10?10?, Alessio Isaia fired 18,000 from the big blind position and Chakib M'hiri called from under the gun.
On the 8? river, Isaia threw out four white, chips, worth 25,000 each, which gave M'hiri a decision for his remaining stack of around 60,000. After thinking it over for around a minute, M'hiri decided to call.
Isaia then showed 10?10? for quads! M'hiri revealed his A?A?, and he headed to the rail.

A player from under the gun made it 6,000 and Mustafa Biz three-bet to 20,000 from middle position. Yaniv Shushan in the hijack cold-called, and the under-the-gun player folded.
On the 9?J?4? flop, Biz check-called a bet of 16,000 from Shushan to see the 8? turn, which checked through.
A 7? landed on the river and Biz shoved for around 60,000, and Shushan wasted no time in making the call.
Biz reluctantly showed A?Q? for top pair, but Shushan had the winner with a straight holding 10?10?.

: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
In a preflop confrontation Ali Yilmaz was all in from the button, having started the hand with a bit under 250,000. He was up against Pouya Ranjehdel who had him covered from the big blind.
Ali Yilmaz: A?A? 
Pouya Ranjehdel: K?K?
Yilmaz had the best possible preflop hand but he was left drawing to two outs when the K?8?7? flop gave Ranjehdel top set. Yilmaz was unable to catch one of the remaining two aces when the rest of the board ran out Q?3? and he was sent to the rail in brutal fashion while Ranjehdel dragged in a massive pot.

On a board of 5?Q?7?10? with around 25,000 chips in the middle, Danielle Noja checked from the small blind and the big blind fired out 8,000. Sandra Cotescu called in the cutoff, and Noja also called.
When the Q? paired the board on the river, the action checked to Cotescu, who fired out 30,000. Noja thought for some time before he called, and the big blind folded.
Cotescu then showed A?10?, and Noja said "Nice hand," before he mucked his cards.
