The cards of Kazuhiko Yotsushika were already mucked and several players at the table gasped as Renat Bohdanov had rivered two pair for a seemingly unlikely double.
Bohdanov's 7♣6♥ were still exposed and they had made sevens and sixes on a board of 8♦7♠2♦3♣6♠. The double was worth 54,500, sending Bohdanov's stack into six figures.
Shaun Deeb was out of position in a heads-up pot against Cristian Nagaki on the board of 3♦7♣2♦K♥.
Deeb checked on the turn and called a bet from his opponent. Deeb checked again on the Q♦ river and Nagaki bet 7,000. Deeb called, only to muck as Nagaki showed K♠3♠ for kings and threes.

Sorel Mizzi was all-in for 23,400 with the K♦K♥ and table big stack Christian Roberts looked him up with the A♠K♣.
The 9♣8♣8♥ flop changed nothing but Roberts soared ahead on the A♦ turn, leaving Mizzi with a single out. Sure enough, the K♠ came on the river and Mizzi doubled with a one-outer.
On a flop of 10♣8♣6♣, Luc Lafontaine got his last 37,300 in against Timothy Adams and the High Roller regular quickly called with the covering stack.
Luc Lafontaine: 10♥10♠
Timothy Adams: A♣A♦
The 2♣ turn improved Adams to the ace-high flush and the 3♥ river failed to pair the board.
Jeremy Ausmus opened to 1,800 in early position and Jamie Gold called out of the small blind.
Gold checked on the flop of 2♦10♠7♦ and Ausmus continued for 2,000. Gold check-raised to 8,000 and Ausmus called.
Gold sized down to 6,500 on the 10♥ turn and Ausmus called. Gold then bet 16,000 on the 7♥ and engaged in some of his trademark table talk as Ausmus sat in the tank.
"I started with diamonds but I might have made something," Gold told him. "Definitely have two diamonds in my hand."
"I have a big hand," Ausmus said. "I can't fold."
Ausmus called and mucked as the 2006 Main Event champion showed J♦10♦ for tens full of sevens.
"Everyone sees a few clips from 2006 and thinks I'm bluffing," Gold said. "I get good cards like everyone else."
With a bet and call worth 6,000 already pulled into the main pot after the J♣3♦2♠ flop, the 8♠ turn saw Franco Spitale check. Stefan Nemetz on the button bet 16,000 only for Spitale to check-shove. The all-in was for 43,000 and Nemetz tank-folded after the clock was called on him.
