The action was caught as Yafa Saada, in the cutoff, was all in and at risk for her effective stack of 39,000, against Guoliang Wei, who was in early position.
Yafa Saada: K♥J♥
Guoliang Wei: 10♣10♦
Saada was behind until the 3♥8♥A♥ flop gave her the nutflush. The 10♠ turn brought as sweat as Wei now had a set, but the Q♦ river failed to pair the board and Saada doubled up.

Stoyan Madanzhiev moved all in for 4,000 from under the gun. Toni Kaukua called from early position. Abdelhakim Zoufri called in the hijack and Martin Stoyanov called in the cutoff. Fabrice Maltez called on the button and Maksim Skripkin completed in the small blind.
With the bounty up for grabs, everyone checked the Q♣10♣Q♥ flop. Everyone checked again on the 4♦ turn before Maltez bet 8,000. Only Stoyanov called.
The 10♦ was checked down. Maltez showed 9♣4♠ and Stoyanov tabled J♦9♠. The pot was chopped and one of the two players will draw the bounty then chop up the amount of the pull between them, as discussed by the two players and the floor.
