The hand was picked up on the river in what players said "was a limped pot" the board was showing {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{9-Clubs}.

Ralph Massey was all-in for 1.77 million and his opponent Kwan Kim made the call and didn't have Massey covered after the chips were counted out.

Kim showed {k-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Massey was showing a flopped straight with {k-Spades}{10-Spades} to eliminate Kim and more than double up his stack.

Pocket Jacks for Wong

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

On a flop of {a-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Will Givens, Diogo Veiga and SheLok Wong all checked to the {2-Spades} turn. Givens checked again before Veiga put out a bet of 175,000 and only Wong made the call.

The {10-Clubs} was the river and Veiga checked relatively quickly but Wong took some time before checking back. Veiga tabled {q-Spades}{j-Spades} for queen-high and Wong scooped the pot when he showed the {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}.
