It was, however, a hand immersed in controversy, Polish pro Marcin Horecki throwing in 6,500 and failing to recognise that Stephen Chidwick had moved all in before him for 19,000. With the floor called, Horecki was informed that he could either relinquish the 6,500 or make up the 19,000. He chose the latter.
But the drama didn't end there, as Julian Thew opted to push all in from the blinds for around 50 to 60,000. After a moment or two of deliberation, Horecki made the call and it was on their backs.

. She flopped an open-ended straight draw and got there on the river. One of her opponents bet 8,000 on a board of J-10-x-5-8. She moved all in and he reluctantly called with J-10. Her Queen-high straight was good and the dealer shipped her the pot. She increased her stack to around 42,000.
