Yuval Khaimzon was all-in for 22,100 with the Q♣J♥ and up against Ray Li, who was at risk with the J♦J♣. Both were covered by Junlong Gao, who revealed the Q♠10♠ and picked up a flush draw until the 8♦5♦2♠4♠ turn. The river was the 8♥ and Khaimzon was eliminated while Li more than doubled.

It remains a mystery how the chips exactly went into the middle but Lester Leung snapped a picture of his bustout hand moments before the chips were sent over to Likhitaumpai Kriangkrai.
On a board of Q♣5♠3♦A♥2♠, Leung's K♦3♠ had flopped bottom pair but ther 7♠4♥ of his Thai neighbour rivered a wheel.
