The action was about to start on table 4 when Ben Heath discovered he was in the small blind instead of the big blind. He was under the gun the hand before but apparently the button moved two spots.
Heath told the dealer and Pratyush Buddiga, who was on the button now, confirmed the mistake.
It was ruled a misdeal and everybody gave their cards back to the dealer. Heath took a quick peek at his cards before handing them back and then opened pocket kings. So much for honesty, you could say.
The board was 
and [Removed:155] put out an 8,000-bet from the big blind. It was a big bet with 8,600 in the middle and Tibor Nagygyorgy was a non-believer.
He made the call but mucked in frustration when Brand tabled 
for a rivered two pair.

Another massive pot emerged over on table two and there were around 35,000 or even more in the middle with the board reading 
. To cut the story short, Pasi Sormunen announced all in and Oleksii Khoroshenin from one seat over was struck. With plenty of chips behind, which looked like 65,000, Khoroshenin eventually gave in and folded.
Sormunen flashed the 
and Khoroshenin flipped over his 
to cause some gasps at the table.
