Litvinov Loses a Classic Flip; Di Nicola Folds Trips

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Andrey Litvinov was all in for 230,000 from the hijack and up against Mohamed Mokrani in the big blind.

Andrey Litvinov: A?K?
Mohamed Mokrani: Q?Q?

Mokrani spiked top set on the 9?Q?8? flop, while the A? on the turn arrived too late for Litvinov as he headed for the exit following the 10? river.

At the same time at another table, Ermanno Di Nicola and Vedat Yilmaz were heads-up on the river with the board showing 5?10?K?10?6? when Di Nicola bet 190,000.

Yilmaz then raised to 400,000 and Di Nicola quickly turned over the 10? and tossed it into the muck. The table implored Yilmaz to show and he turned over the 5?.

"Five-five," a tablemate said, and sure enough Yilmaz also showed the 5? for a full house while taking the big pot.
