'Seven-deuce?'

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With roughly 10,000 already in the pot and the board reading K♥8♦2♠Q♠2♥, Ghassan Yared led out with a bet of 4,000 as the first to act. Jiaming Zhao wasted no time responding, shoving all-in for around 34,000. Yared seemed visibly conflicted, taking his time to consider the situation before folding, showing the K♦ as he did. In a playful gesture, Zhao revealed a 7x, sparking some laughter around the table when another player jokingly asked, "Seven-deuce?"

On the 9♣6♥3♣ flop, Shagulyamov continued with a bet of 5,400, which Rubiralta called.
