The runout goes: K♥ 4♠ 7♣ K♠ 4♦ as Skoglund’s pocket pair manages to dodge all the outs of the Frenchman.

Albert fails in bluff attempt against Enders’ set
France’s Vincent Joel Albert opens from the utg+2 position for 600 and gets four callers.
The flop is T♠ 8♠ 5♣ to which Peteris Enders of Latvia leads out from the sb for 1,600 and Albert becomes the only caller. It is heads up to the turn where the 2♥ appears. Enders continues for 2,600 and is still called by the Frenchman. The river is the 6♣ and this time, Enders slows down and checks. Albert becomes the aggressor and unloads 8,000. Enders calls.
