During the final hands of the night, the action exploded and several all-in showdowns took place in quick succession.

Cary Katz had been all-in preflop after a raise by Firas Kashat and two calls. He was looked up three ways and it checked to the J767J river. Yuri Dzivielevski bet 125,000 and his two active opponents folded.

The Brazilian only briefly flashed his cards but Katz quadrupled with the J1085.

On the same table, Matthew Boulden was then all-in after a K63 flop against Mads Amot.

Matthew Boulden: AK96
Mads Amot: Q654

Amot had a wrap and got there instantly with the 7 turn, the 3 river sent Boulden to the payout desk with the words "at least I don't have to come back tomorrow".

Ka Kwan Lau then got it in for 1,505,000 post flop against Ben Lamb with the flop showing Q63.

Ka Kwan Lau:AKKJ
Ben Lamb: KQ103

Lamb was ahead with the top and bottom pair and that remained to be the case on the 7 turn. However, the 6 river counterfeited Lamb's two pair and he vaulted out of the chair in disgust.
