Chamas was well ahead on the turn, but the river was the , giving Milewski three of a kind to win the pot.
Chamas was visibly frustrated, as he was left with just 12,000 chips. Milewski sits on a very comfortable 560,000 chips.
Oleksii Khoroshenin and Dario Sammartino looked down at a completed board of . With well over 170,000 already in the pot, Khoroshenin slid out a final bet of 125,000. Sammartino thought for about 30 seconds before flinging forward calling chips. Khoroshenin tabled for top two pair. Sammartino mucked his hand and Khoroshenin pulled in the pot.

Sebastian Tejada raised to 15,000 before the flop and Mario Sanchez Cano three-bet from his immediate left to 38,000. The action folded back to Tejada who moved all in, and Cano sighed before making the call.

The board ran out and Cano doubled up to 375,000 while Tejada was left with 230,000 chips.
As we walked into the tournament room, we ran into Pieter Aerts following the floor to the pay out desk. While on his way he told us the details of his bust out hand. The button opened and the small blind made a three-bet. Aerts was in the big blind and shoved all in for his last 13 big blinds with . The small blind ended up calling with . The board stayed free of aces and kings, and Aerts hit the rail.
Another Belgian, Arne Coulier, also busted. Coulier told us Rodney Ramalho had opened for 12,000 from late position and he three-bet to 34,000 with off suit from the small blind. Ramalho called and then called Coulier's continuation bet on with two spades.
The turn came an off suit , and Coulier bet 51,000 with 105,000 behind. Ramalho pushed all in, and Cournier tank-called. Ramalho had , and Coulier didn't hit on the river.

Roman Voronin raised it up from early position and Jason Lavallee made the call. Shyam Srinivasan called from the small blind and Lauri Varonen in the big blind squeezed to 48,000. The Fin didn't find any player folding; Voronin, Lavallee and Srinivasan all called to built an already rather big pot.
The flop came and Srinivasan checked. Varonen checked as well and Voronin was the third to tap the table. Lavallee made a bet of 63,000 and Srinivasan shoved all in for 322,000. Varonen and Voronin were quick to fold, Lavallee made the call. "Flush?" asked Srinivasan. Lavallee answered that question by showing his cards.

Jason Lavallee:
Srinivasan needed the board to pair to stay alive, and got exactly that on the turn. The that appeared left Lavallee drawing dead and the on the river was there just to make things official.
