Ioannis Poullos opened from under the gun to 105,000. Tommaso Briotti called from middle position before Javier Fernandez reraised to 425,000. Action folded around to Poullos who moved all in for 1,960,000. Briotti called and Fernandez folded.

Taran Parmar: Q♠10♠ All in
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: A♦A♥ All in
Jun Beum Chun: A♠K♠

Parmar said "i'm going to need a straight here" as the 9♣10♦K♥ flop rolled off. "Or two pair" he added. However his first request was granted as the J♠ rolled off on the turn giving him a straight. The J♣ river meant Parmar would win the main pot and Kiriopoulos would take the side pot.
