Nick Palma opened to 50,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 125,000 by Stephen Song on the button. Jorge Artiga-Pacheco used a time bank in the big blind before moving all in for 375,000.
Palma used a time bank of his own before folding, but Song called to put Pacheco at risk.
"This is a Stephen Song special," chirped Palma as the cards were revealed.
Jorge Artiga-Pacheco: A♣K♣
Stephen Song: 7♠6♠
The board came 10♦4♥2♦9♠K♥ as Pacheco rivered a pair of kings to score the double-up.

The 7♥ turn saw Mavritsakis play in flow. Timmer moved all in for 305,000 and Mavritsakis called.
Javey Timmer: K♥K♦
Panagiotis Mavritsakis: A♣J♣
Timmer was ahead but Mavritsakis had plenty of outs, however, the 3♠ river wasn't one of them and Timmer doubled up.

Ryan Feldman, co-owner of Hustler Casino Live, revealed on PokerNews' Life Outside Poker podcast that he was kicked out of the 2016 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event over a conflict of interest stemming from his employment at ESPN.
In the 16th episode of the podcast, host Connor Richards speaks with the producer/founder of the most popular livestream in poker history about why he was booted from poker's biggest tournament, along with numerous other topics such as sports journalism, interviewing star athletes, leaving ESPN to start a poker stream, founding HCL and putting together some of the most entertaining lineups in poker history.
This interview was filmed in July at the 2024 WSOP inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
The Life Outside Poker podcast is available on major streaming platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify and iHeartRadio. You can also watch the interview with Ryan Feldman by heading to the PokerNews YouTube channel.

Evgenii Sboev: J♠10♦
Marius-Catalin Pertea: A♠J♣
Sboev was behind and stayed there throughout the 5♦9♥6♣2♠J♥ runout, which sent him to the rail just before the first break of the day.

Defending champion Simon Wiciak was all-in and at risk for around 900,000 against Andrew Hulme.
Simon Wiciak: A♥K♣
Andrew Hulme: Q♣Q♥
Wiciak took a big lead on the flop of 8♦2♦A♣ and the 4♣ turn didn't change anything. But the dealer then put down the Q♠ river and those at the table groaned as Hulme improved to put a tough beat on the Frenchman.
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Yunkyu Song opened to 50,000 under the gun and was three-bet to 130,000 by Aliaksandr Shylko in the hijack. Jack Kiriakus then came in with a cold four-bet to 325,000 from the cutoff.
Song quickly folded but Shylko went into the tank.
"This is it dog," commented Kiriakus as Shylko began his deliberation.
After using five time banks, Shylko decided that it wasn't actually 'it' and folded his hand.
With the PokerStars TV crew surrounding the table, Kiriakus teased showing his hand, but then sent it to the muck as the pot was pushed his way.
