Franco Da Matta check-called three streets on the K♦K♣8♣5♠6♦ board for 31,000 on the turn and 50,000 on the river, the latter on which he groaned "ah, I lost the minimum".
His opponent shook his head and said they missed, awarding the pot to Da Matta with the K♠J♦ as one of the largest stacks in the room right now.

"Oh my god, not again" Troy Mc Teer and other players at the table groaned. Billy Henderson had scored a lucky double on the live stream table and did so again on the outer tables now.
He was all-in with the Q♠5♥ from the big blind on the K♣5♠3♥K♥ turn against the 10♦10♥ of Mc Teer. The 5♦ river came to the rescue.
Four ways to the A♥9♦7♦ flop, Benjamin "Guppie" Lingenfelder bet 19,000 from an early position. Tisshik Naidoo called in the cutoff and Jon Persent came along in the small blind. Djordje Stojic then squeezed to 79,000 in the big blind. Lingenfelder eventually jammed for 194,000 and Naidoo as well as Persent folded, Stojic called.
Benjamin "Guppie" Lingenfelder: A♠J♦ 
Djordje Stojic: 9♠7♠
The Q♠ turn and K♠ river vaulted Stojic to a seven-figure stack.
The field is down to 95 players out of 342 entries and some of the recently departed are already in the next Side Event.
Mark Wright limped in with the 2♠2♥ and then called a raise to 14,000 by Alexander Rizvi in the next seat with the Q♥Q♦.
On the 10♥7♠6♣ flop, Wright check-called for 12,000 and check-min-raised the 4♦ turn from 35,000 to 70,000. Rizvi stuck around to the 4♣ river to get shoved upon by Wright for the lasz 143,000.
Rizvi reluctantly called and they shook hands before Wright headed out of the live stream table setup with a smile on the face.
Rayhaan Adam had been eliminated earlier on when his ace-queen were cracked by ace-five in a massive pot and Tim Akinnusi was sitting on a monster stack on his former table.
That one provided fireworks now when Muaaz Gani raised to 8,000, Darren Kramer three-bet to 16,000 and then faced the four-bet shove. Kramer counted his stack for a few moments and called for the last 141,000.
Darren Kramer: A♠J♥
Muaaz Gani: 10♥10♣
The A♥6♥5♥K♠Q♥ board improved Kramer to the superior pair on the flop and flush on the river for the double.
Hennie Appel opened to 11,000 with the Q♥7♥ and Stephen Courtney called with the A♣9♣. On the 6♣5♣2♥ flop, Appel check-called for 15,000 and they checked the 4♣ turn. Appel led the 3♠ river for 33,000 when he hit the straight with the seven only to get raised to 100,000.
Courtney gave him the speech on the live stream table and was eventually paid off.
On the former feature table, multi ways to the A♦K♥9♦ flop Danie van der Berg bet and was check-called by Billy Henderson while Gustav Louw also came along. They checked the 2♥ on the turn and it checked to van der Berg on the 9♣ river. He now bet 14,000 and Henderson reluctantly folded.
Louw was not loving it either and reluctantly let go, showing the "key card" K♦.
