There was some confusion over on table nine as the queen-high flop had been dealt with action already following before the players noticed there had been two burn cards. The burns and flop were reshuffled and both Franco Da Matta as well as Hafiz Juma then checked down the new board of 10♥9♠3♣5♦7♦.
Da Matta tabled his A♦Q♦ and had the K♦Q♣ of Juma beat before storming off the table, as he would have won a larger pot.
