Action was on the turn with Michel Brantschen facing a shove for most of his remaining chips.
The board read J♥7♣4♣9♥ and Brantschen sat with a bet of 5,100 in front of him. Zoran Sesum had then shoved for 23,200 and Brantschen was contemplating his decision.
"You show when I fold?" said Brantschen, with Sesum shaking his head vigorously no.
Brantschen thought a while longer before open-mucking K♥K♣

"You can't be a poker player if you don't like pain!" he explained as he sits on a stack of just under 50,000-.

Three players were in action on a 10♥8♦J♦ flop, with Alejandro Romero and Ege Guven checking out of the blinds. David Docherty bet 400 and got two calls.
The trio checked the 7♦ and the 5♥ completed the board. Romero bet 1,600 and Guven was the only caller.
Romero tabled A♦9♦. Guven turned over 9♥6♣ for a straight, appearing to believe it was a chop. However, Romero had turned the nut flush and took down the pot.
