Ming Huang pushed all-in for 72,000 in the cutoff and was snapped off by Chengcai Pan in the big blind, who flipped over his A♥A♦. Huang grabbed his time bank cards and smacked them down towards the middle of the table while already walking away from the table, having exposed the Q♥7♠.
The Q♠8♥5♣8♣A♣ board gave Pan aces full for the knockout in style.

Alex Wice: K♥J♥
