On a heads-up turn of 10♣K♠8♦5♥, there was around 18,500 in the middle when Yunkyu Song bet 13,500 and was called by Hung Vo.
The river fell the A♣ and Song promptly moved all in to cover Vo, who then went into the tank.
After close to a minute of pained deliberation, Vo set out his stack to put himself at risk, but was quickly shown the bad news when Song rolled over Q♠J♠ for the nut straight. Vo shook his head and tabled K♥J♥ for a pair of kings as he stood up and headed to the exit.

On a heads-up turn of 9♥A♥Q♠5♣, Kong Wang checked over to Brian Favro who fired off a bet of 8,000 into the pot of close to 18,000.
Wang thought for a few seconds but wound up making the call and the two continued to the river Q♦.
Wang then proceeded to move all in and was snap-called by Favro to put him at risk. Wang flipped over Q♥3♥ for trip queens but then Favro rolled over 9♣9♠ for a full house to send him to the rail.
