The board ran out {k-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{a-Clubs} to hold for the sevens and Chen took the remainder of his opponents stack to envelope into his own huge one.

George Awad had an opportunity to bust two players in one hand on a flop of {4-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}. Awad turned over the {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades} which was well ahead of the {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} of his first opponent and was also ahead of the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} of Suong Kim.

The turn changed nothing when the {6-Diamonds} fell and the river {k-Spades} confirmed the double knockout for Awad.
