For those that haven't seen Mikhail Korotkikh in action yet, he does like to celebrate double ups quite loudly for the entire tournament room to hear.

Arriving on the turn, Dong Zhao and Alexander Uskov checked and floor staff confirmed that Korotkikh had been all in before the flop for 69,800 with both opponents calling.
They also checked the river five minutes into the break and Zhao flashed , Uskov the . What followed was the loud scream by Korotkikh, who tabled for the win!
A few minutes ago, Mikita Badziakouski and Stephen Chidwick checked down the river of a board and Chidwick showed jack-high, Badziakouski took the pot with his .

The flop and turn changed nothing whatsoever, but the river gave Siddiqui a set and the triple up while Chartier took the side pot by knocking out Kamar.
The action started with a raise to 4,800 by Zvi Stern and the November Niner found three callers in Keith Johnson, David Dayan and Quan Zhou. In the small blind, Marko Neumann moved all in for 34,700 and Stern flat-called only to see Johnson then move in as well for around 65,000.

Johnson:
Stern:
"Oh, that's slightly difficult, diamonds please," Neumann said. Instead, the flop came and Johnson stood up from his chair ready to leave. Neither the turn nor the river changed anything and Stern soared up to more than half a million.
