Quan Zhou raised to 6,000 from the hijack before Erik Seidel three-bet to 16,500 in the cutoff. Armin Ghojehvand, on the button, then moved all in for 65,000. Zhou folded, but Seidel called to put him at risk.

Erik Seidel: K♣7♣

Ghojehvand remained in front through the turn on a board of 9♦10♥3♦8♥, but the J♦ on the river gave Ghojehvand a set but Seidel a straight as Ghojehvand was sent to the rail in cruel fashion.
