In a blind versus blind battle, Peng Yang bet 21,000 on a flop of 7?6?3?, Kacper Pyzara moved all in for around 30,000, and Yang snap-called.
Kacper Pyzara: J?9?
Peng Yang: 5?4?
"Too easy for you," Pyzara said as Yang showed a flopped straight. Pyzara needed to complete his flush draw, but he missed the 3? turn and 3? river and was sent to the rail.

Xixiang Luo bet 15,500 from the small blind on a flop of 9?3?5? and Safi Haidar called in middle position.
The turn was the 10? and Luo bet 29,000, leaving one 500 chip behind. "Put it here," Haidar instructed the dealer about the all-in button as Luo tossed his last chip up high up in the air and into the pot.
He showed A?A?, while Haidar was behind with 8?8? until the 8? fell on the river to give him a set and the knockout.
"Good result. Bad call. It's because of the whiskey. It's because I've been drinking," Haidar said, taking another swig of his drink as he collected the pot.

Around 80,000 was in the pot as Shuang Luo, Nariman Yaghmai, and Atil Okay in the hijack saw a flop of 3?7?4?. Okay then moved all in for 145,000.
Luo called for her last 130,000 as action went on Yaghmai. "Crazy," tablemate Nina Krasilnikova said. Yaghmai eventually folded.
Shuang Luo: 8?7?
Atil Okay: J?J?
"What," Krasilnikova said upon seeing Luo's hand. Okay was poised to scoop the massive pot with his pair of jacks until the 8? turn improved Luo to two pair. The river was the 5? and Okay could only laugh as Luo earned a massive double up.
"You called all in with seven-eight," an incredulous Krasilnikova asked after the hand.
"She put him on sixes, fives, or a flush draw," Andrea Dato replied.
Okay was left on an extreme short stack and was eliminated a few hands later.
