In a pot that had around 150,000 in the middle on a board of A♦5♠Q♠6♠, Andras Nemeth checked it over to Sebastien Compte, who fired 55,000. Nemeth called.
A 7♦ dropped on the river and both players decided to check it down. Nemeth showed a pair of fives with 9♠5♥, but Compte had a pair of aces with A♠J♣ to claim the pot.
Guiyang Wang got his last 120,000 into the middle preflop with Lev Margolin making the call to try and bust him.
Guiyang Wang: 7♦7♠ 
Lev Margolin: A♣A♦
Wang needed to find a seven to crack the aces of Margolin. The board ran out clean for the aces as it came 5♥K♠3♦J♠3♥ and Wang was sent to the rail.
