Hakim Zoufri stuck his last 30,000 into the middle from under the fun with only Keith Hoang making the call from the big blind to put him at risk.
Hakim Zoufri: K♥10♣
Keith Hoang: K♦Q♥

Multi-way to a flop of 6♣4♥6♠, with about 70,000 in the middle, Marian Virlanuta fired a bet of 45,000 from early position. The action then folded to Samuel Ju under the gun, who called.
The 5♦ turn saw Virlanuta shove all in for 121,500 after a second check from Ju. Ju tossed in one time bank before he folded and forfeited the pot.
"Do you want to see?" Virlanuta asked Ju, who responded affirmatively. Virlanuta then showed K♣Q♦ for a stone-cold bluff with king-high, much to the ammusement of the table.

There was an early position limp for 2,500 before Adrian State raised to 10,000 on the button. The early position player called and they went heads-up to the flop.
After it checked to State on the 2♥K♠J♠ flop, he fired out a bet of 6,000. State's opponent called.
The 7♣ came on the turn, and it was checked to State again. He bet 40,000, prompting a snap-fold from his opponent.

After several raises preflop, Mekan Yusupov put in his stack of 194,000 from the small blind. Ryhor Karapanau took one more look at his cards before he quickly called, slightly covering his opponent.
Mekan Yusupov: A♦10♥
Ryhor Karapanau: A♣K♣
The big pot seemed to be headed to Karapanau after the 3♥5♥A♠ flop, but Yusupov turned two pair with the 10♣ to take a huge lead. The 2♦ river did not change anything, seeing Yusupov double up and leaving Karapanu with just five blinds.
