On a completed board of A♠K♠10♦8♥7♥, Christopher Mateo checked and Simon Isback moved all-in for 24,200 into a pot of around 19,000. Mateo went into the tank and asked if his opponent was gonna show if he folded.
The table chatter continued and Mateo inquired "do you want me to call?" to which Isback replied "maybe".
Mateo eventually folded and before raking in the pot, Isback revealed his Q♠J♥ for the flopped broadway straight.

Cubeia Freeroll winner Hao Jan Jr won a pot without showdown when he bet the 9♦4♣2♠10♣6♠ river for 5,400 into around 21,000. Jan Albea folded but soon after, Jan Jr walked outside of the Grand Ballroom for a short break while Albea busted. Terje Bratberg also bowed out and jumped right back in.
There was some confusion on the river of a J♦9♥5♣6♥4♠ board as to which player was to act with some 31,000 in the middle. Kim Enriquez eventually used one time bank before he then checked and Mikhail Andriukhin then bet 10,000, forcing a fold from Enriquez.

Terje Bratberg check-called the 6♠4♥2♦5♣ turn for 2,800 and then checked the Q♥ on the river.

The latter was then high-carded away as the field size increased further.
