Yanovsky again took a few minutes until he called. Funaro showed A♦Q♥ for trips, but Yanovsky had A♠K♣ for a straight to win the massive pot.

Heads up on a flop of 4♥8♠10♠, Panagiotis Gavriilidis bet 60,000 from the hijack and Victor Chong called in the small blind.
The turn was the 5♠ and Gavriilidis moved all in for 160,000. Chong snap-called with A♣A♠, but Gavriilidis had K♠Q♠ for a flush.
The 9♠ fell on the river and Gavriilidis shot out of his seat after Chong improved to the nut flush, letting out a few choice words in his native language before snapping a photo of the board and heading for the exit.
"You know what the odds were of hitting that spade?" tablemate Eric Afriat said to Chong.
"Very low," Chong replied with a smile.

Pavel Rasskazov opened from the hijack and was called by Jim Collopy on the button, Koray Korkmaz in the small blind, and Belarmino De Souza in the big blind.
On the 6♦3♠2♥ flop, the action checked to Rasskazov, who bet 35,000. Collopy folded, Korkmaz flatted, and De Souza folded after some deliberation.
The turn brought the J♥. Korkmaz checked to Rasskazov, who bet 50,000 and Korkmaz quickly called.
On the 6♠ river, Korkmaz quickly checked and Rasskazov elected to check behind. It was the right choice as Korkmaz revealed 2♠2♦ for deuces-full and Rasskazov saved himself some chips.
