There is a three-way preflop all-in situation at Table 1, and here are their cards in descending order of chip counts:

Yasir Yaqoob (button, ~215K):  Spade KDiamond K
Giuseppe Rosa (cutoff, ~95K):  Diamond ADiamond 10
Emilio Izvira (hijack, ~63K):  Diamond QSpade 9
Romain Hamouche (big blind, ~22K):  Spade 8Spade 3

The board comes Club JSpade 6Club 4Club 7Club K, and Hamouche turns a gutshot straight draw, but improves no further.

Surprisingly, nobody has a club in their hand, so Yaqoob wins the entire pot with a rivered set of kings to eliminate all three of his opponents and nearly double his own stack.

Yasir Yaqoob  –  400,000  (50 bb)
Giuseppe Rosa  –  Eliminated in 91st Place  (€1,750)
Emilio Izvira  –  Eliminated in 92nd Place  (€1,750)
Romain Hamouche  –  Eliminated in 93rd Place  (€1,750)
