On a flop of 8♣J♦K♠, Matthias Delbano and his 330,000-chip stack bet 1,500 from under the gun and was called by the big blind.
He fired a second barrel of 7,000 on the 5♥ turn. The big blind check-called once again to see the 10♣ river.
This last card was checked by both players, so the big blind flipped over K♥Q♦ for top pair. Delbano sent his cards into the muck.

The action was picked up on a board of 6♥7♦9♣7♣9♥ with 13,400 in the pot with Yakiv Syzghanov in the big blind betting 8,500.
The player in the cutoff went deep into the tank, so long that the clock was called. A few seconds before the end of the countdown, he called with A♥6♣ for two pair. Syzghanov had two pair as well, but with 6♦5♣, he didn't have the best kicker and lost the pot.
