When we got to table #35 we could tell this was going to be crucial. The hand involved Piotr Wielopolski, Gabriel DT, Mohamed Ben Yahia and Tomas Larivee Magni. If these names sound familiar, it’s because they have all been on the leader boards at least once tonight.
The flop was out: 
Blinds were 800/1,600 and Piotr got the ball rolling with a bet of 5,100. Tomas, on the button flat-called and Mohamed wasted no time, pushing out his entire 89K stack as he said: “All-in”.
All eyes were on Gabriel DT, chip leader in this particular hand, with 2 players behind, including the original post-flop raiser and a flat call. After a few minutes, Gabriel lifted his head and uttered two small but explosive words: “All-in”. Original raiser Piotr Wielopolski got rid of his hand quickly which left Tomas Larivee Magni.
After some soul-searching Tomas called and opened his hand with an iconic don’t-have-a-choice smile. He was holding 
, huge draws… straight, flush and straight-flush.
Mohamed tabled 
, top 2 pairs.
Then Gabriel flipped over his cards to show the strongest pre-flop hand: 
, top-top.
Mohamed was already standing up and froze mid-stance when the turn came out: 
. This card obviously made Tomas’s gamble pay off by awarding him a baby-flush. With no one else holding a spade he didn’t care that his flush was weak at this point.
“Gimme a jack; c’m’on, gimme a jack!” pleaded Mohamed, ready to accept defeat in the face of his few outs. And as the dealer snapped a 
on the river, the whole table and a few bystanders exhaled a collective “wow”.
So Mohamed more than triples up and is now sitting behind a very decent stack. Tomas Larivee Magni did manage to get a few chips from Gabriel DT but the blow was hard to both players.
