A player in early position raised to 8,000 before Terakun "Papa Karn" Karnchanakphan shoved for 21,500 and Artur Winstone jammed 34,500. The raiser got out of the way and action was heads up with Karn at risk.
Papa Karn: A♣Q♥
Artur Winstone: J♦10♦
The board ran out 8♥Q♦K♦A♠8♦ and Winstone made a diamond flush on the river to send Karn to the rail in the 11th level of the evening.

On this special episode of the PokerNews Podcast sponsored by 888poker, Chad Holloway goes one-on-one with Shaun Deeb, who accepted a $800,000 buyout in his $1 million body fat prop bet against Bill Perkins.
Nearly 11 months ago, the poker players agreed to a 14-month wager on Deeb's ability to bring his body fat composition down significantly. The bet had essentially no stipulations — either get to 17% body fat by the start of the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP), or lose $100,000.
Last month, Deeb gave his X followers an update on his progress, and it was certainly positive in his favor. A January 25 Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan showed his body fat had dropped to 23.9% with still four months to go. That caused Perkins to begin proposing potential buyout possibilities on X, although nothing had been officially agreed upon.
Shaun Deeb Accepts Buyout in $1 Million Body Fat Loss Prop Bet
On Friday, he went in for another DEXA scan, and he was in even better shape — 22.0% body fat composition. Then, on Saturday, the future Poker Hall of Famer informed his social media followers that Perkins had bought out of the bet for $800,000 just over three months from the start of the 2024 WSOP.
Deeb shared all the details of his journey, why he opted to accept the buyout, and where he plans to go from here. Plus, hear his thoughts on the 2024 WSOP schedule.
Action was heads up with nearly 100,000 in the middle and 4♥2♦5♠J♥4♦ on the board when Brodie Harris bet 23,000 and Jackie Rutherford called. Harris turned over the dusty K♣Q♥ and Rutherford had the slightly less dusty A♣Q♠ to take the pot with an ace.
On the very next hand, Harris got his last 47,000 into the middle on a board of 3♦Q♥7♥. Rutherford flicked in a chip to call and the cards were turned up.
Brodie Harris: A♥3♥
Jackie Rutherford: K♣Q♥
The board finished up 3♣J♥ and Harris made triple threes before he improved to a flush to take the pot.

Action was three ways with 3♦7♦A♦6♦ on the board and a swelling pot when Mike McAdams checked from the big blind. A player in late position bet 8,000 and BJ McBrayer called from the cutoff before McAdams shoved his last 14,000. Both players called and McAdams was at risk.
The river was 9♦ and both remaining players elected to check. McBrayer turned over J♦9♣ for the jack-high flush, while the player next to him showed Q♦4♣. However, it was McAdams who would secure the triple with K♦Q♠ and the king-high flush.
