Grigorian said his famous phrase "Ship it to Armenia!" and the whole table laughed.

Kenny Hallaert
Kenny Hallaert

In a raised pot, the flop showed {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and Arnaud Enselme checked in the big blind.

Things escalated when Kenny Hallaert made a continuation bet for 3,000 and faced a check-raise from Enselme for 12,000. Hallaert thought about his move for a minute and opted to raise again, making it 31,000, before Enselme announced all in, covering Hallaert's stack worth around 100,000 in total. Hallaert snap-called and the players revealed their cards:

Kenny Hallaert: {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}
Arnaud Enselme: {7-Hearts}{8-Clubs}

Despite flopping a set, Hallaert was in terrible shape, facing a flopped straight for the French player, and was eliminated after a {j-Spades} and a {7-Spades} completed the board.

Cheong Floats the Flop to River the Best Hand

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Joseph Cheong opened to 3,500 in early position and the button three-bet to 9,100. Cheong called and the two players saw a flop of {8-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts}. Cheong checked to his opponent who bet 12,500 and Cheong called.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and both players checked to the {j-Hearts} on the river. Cheong checked once more and his opponent reluctantly knuckled the table as well. Cheong turned over {j-Spades}{9-Spades} for top pair on the river.

"Nuts!" one player at the table shouted. Indeed it was good enough as Cheong raked in the pot.
