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.

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♦.

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.

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♦.
