Murad Cakir raised to 40,000 in the hijack, Bakhos Joumaa three-bet to 80,000 in the big blind, and Cakir called.

At the same time on another table, a player in the big blind bet 300,000 on the river with the board showing K977J and Rafael Aslanli moved all in from the hijack. The big blind quickly called for around another 300,000 and showed Q7 for trips, but Aslanli had 108 for a straight to burst the bubble.

The remaining 125 players are now in the money.
