Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Norbert Koh
Norbert Koh

Jonathan Dwek opened in early position and Norbert Koh defended in the big blind.

Koh checked on the flop of {9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{q-Hearts} and called when Dwek bet 300,000. Koh checked again on the {4-Clubs} turn and Dwek sized up to 1,200,000. Koh again called.

Koh checked a third time on the {5-Hearts} river and Dwek put out a bet of 3,000,000. Koh entered what would prove to be a lengthy tank.

Koh began by removing his sunglasses, revealing a second pair of glasses underneath. He then took a sip from his tea before slouching back in his chair and folding his arms. Next, Koh played with a green chip, dropped it on the floor, picked it up, and rubbed his chin before taking another sip of tea. Koh then folded.

"Rayo" Scores a Double

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Andreas Kniep
Andreas Kniep

"The trap worked," Andreas Kniep said when he got his stack of 4,780,000 in preflop from the cutoff against Ruslan Dykshteyn and held the dominating pair in the following showdown.

Andreas Kniep: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Ruslan Dykshteyn: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Kniep doubled. Since he had no support on the rail, he clapped for himself with the words "let's go Rayo," which is the nickname he uses on social media platforms.

Jamshidi's Aces Get Cracked by Koh

Level 30 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Behrooz Jamshidi
Behrooz Jamshidi

Norbert Koh raised to 400,000 and table short stack Behrooz Jamshidi then jammed for the last 620,000.

Previously, Koh had shook his head when the camera crew rushed by to film a potential showdown. This time, he waved them over with the words "I am not folding this time" before making the call.

Behrooz Jamshidi: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Norbert Koh: {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Jamshidi motioned to his friend on the rail that he had pocket aces. Those remained ahead on the {k-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{2-Spades} flop but had a sweat on the {q-Clubs} turn. Koh indeed got there with the {9-Diamonds} river to eliminate Jamshidi in 41st place.
