for aces up after seventh to scoop the pot.

Habib: / 
/ 
Christopher George had put out bets on sixth and seventh, getting called both times and showing queens and sevens. Habib sweated his final card needing a nine, ten or jack to make a better two pair, "It's paint..." he said, meaning George was now a slight favourite for the hand. But Habib flipped it and it was a jack to give him the pot.
George was stunned and quite upset by the sweat, saying he wished Habib hadn't sweated the last card and just wished he'd flipped it straight away. Nevertheless Habib took a decent chunk out of the former chip leader and moves up to a more comfortable stack.

for the flush.

Christopher George completed and then called Chad Brown’s raise. George check-called Brown’s bet on fourth and on all remaining streets, Brown bet and George called. Brown turned over for two pair and George flashed

We caught up with the action on fifth where Nick Schulman bet and John Hennigan called. The action was the same on sixth and both players checked seventh. Schulman was clearly looking for the check-raise as he turned over for quads and Hennigan mucked. That’s the second time we’ve seen Schulman with quads and we’re not sure if we’ve missed any other times that he’s had them but if not, then we might just be Schulman’s good luck charm.

having been rolled up, hit a flush draw and then boated up on the end. Nguyen flashed for trip tens and a four-flush that missed.
