Chan Doesn't Have It
We came to the action on Justin Chan's table with a flop showing 
and Chan going toe-to-toe with one opponent.
Chan's opponent led for 3,800 and Chan made the call as the 
hit the turn. This time the play would be checked to Chan and he thought for a few moments before betting out 9,000. An eventual call would see the 
land on the river.
Chan's opponent checked, at which point Chan starred towards his opponent as he went into the tank. After a while Chan opted to check and his opponent said, "I think i have you," as he tabled his 
.
Indeed, the player was correct as Chan's hand went into the muck. Chan is now down to only 10,300.

Aces, Aces, Aces, Ouch
Roger Spets will be wishing he never came back from the break after he got one of the worst beats we've seen today, and well, most days in fact.
It was a typical all-in preflop situation between Spets and Erdenebold Begzjav with both the players jamming their stack in the middle holding pocket aces.
Begzjav: 
Spets:
Nothing suss in this hand yet, as it was looking like the players would be chopping up the pot.
By the time the board had ran out 
, Spets would have a sweat as the hearts on the board gave him something to worry about.
When the 
landed on the river, Spets immediately got up out of his seat in disbelief as his aces had been cracked by... aces.
Spets now has around 20,000 while Begzjav takes the lucky double-up to move to around 75,000.
