First to act, Sergey Kuzminskiy raised to 800. Two folds later and the action was on Chris Brammer and the British pro three-bet to 1,600. The action then passed to the cutoff, Elie El Feghali, who called. But that was not the end of the action. Kuzminsky then raised to 3,300 and both active players called.
The 
flop saw all three players check, but the 
turn prompted Kuzminskiy to lead out with a 5,500 bet. Brammer folded and El Feghali called. That was the last of the betting because both players checked the 
river.
Kuzminskiy opened up 
and it was good for the pot, a El Feghali mucked his hand.
We're not sure of the betting, but a preflop raising war resulted in Andrew Chen, who took third in this very event back in Season 5, being all in preflop for 33,575 and racing against Michael Tureniec.
Showdown
Chen: 
Tureniec: 
According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Chen had a 43.03% chance of winning the hand, while Tureniec was the 56.55% favorite. Luckily for Chen, the 
flop paired his king and made him a 90.61% favorite. The 
turn made that 97.73% and left Tureniec drawing to a one outer. Not surprisingly, it wasn't in the cards as the 
fell on the river to give Chen a flush and the double. Tureniec was left with just 5,600 after the hand.
The table, which also included Ole Schemion and Tony Chang, broke shortly thereafter.
