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.

After a few players limped, Lexy Gavin-Mather opened to 4,000 and was called only by Jackson Spencer in the small blind.
The two then both checked through the flop 10♥2♣8♦ and went to the turn J♠. Spencer then decided to lead for 3,500 and Gavin-Mather called to see the 5♠ fall on the river.
Spencer then fired out a bet of 10,000 and Gavin-Mather thought about it for close to 30 seconds before she dropped out calling chips.
Spencer then flipped over 5♥5♦ for a rivered set of fives and Gavin-Mather quickly patted the table and tossed in her hand.
