Two players saw a flop of 7♣7♠3♣. James Bullimore in the hijack, checked to Stephen Song in the cutoff.
Song bet 7,000 and was raised to 21,000 by Bullimore, which he called.
The turn fell a 6♣. Bullimore checked to Song, who bet 25,000, which was enough to get a fold.

PokerNews pulled up on the action as Ebony Kenney was all in and at-risk against big stack Yuchung Chang.
Ebony Kenney: A♠K♦
Yuchung Chang: A♥Q♥
Kenney was in an ideal spot to double up, but the board of 7♥10♣4♣Q♠3♠ gave Chang the win with his pair of queens and Kenny was eliminated.
"Yeah, as soon as you pulled out your phone to record, I knew the queen was coming," someone else at the table chirped to her.
"Oh, is that how that works?" She muttered under her breath, unamused, and exited the tournament area.
Ironically, the player who made the comment then busted the very next hand to join her at the payout desk.

Justin Kusumowidagdo relayed a hand to PokerNews after the fact:
Pete Chen opened from middle position to 6,000 and Kusomowidagdo three-bet to 22,000 from the small blind, but then Noah Bronstein four-bet to 52,000.
Chen then ripped it all in for 162,000 and now Kusumowidagdo was in a tough spot and went deep into the tank.
After a good while of intense thought, he made the fold and Bronstein snap-called, putting himself at risk.
Noah Bronstein:AxAx
Pete Chen: QxQx
Chen was in trouble with his queens but got all the help he needed as a queen appeared on the flop and held for him to win the huge pot while Bronstein was eliminated.
Kusumowidagdo said that he was tanking with ace-king and that these raises smelled very strongly of aces or kings, so that's how he was able to get away from his premium holding with his tournament life.

Chad Holloway and Jesse Fullen go head-to-head to talk about the latest hot topics live from the 2023 World Series of Poker (WSOP).
Brian Rast receives the HOF induction, Josh Arieh wins his sixth career bracelet, and the embroiled Ali Imsirovic sat at his first WSOP table of 2023.
Those topics and more are discussed in the thirteenth episode of The Chad & Jesse Poker Show.
The hijack opened to 13,000 and was called by Shaun Deeb on the button, and Shannon Shorr in the big blind.
The flop fell 7♣9♥4♦ and was checked by all three players.
The turn was a 10♦ and it was checked again as far as Deeb, who threw out a bet of 30,000. Shorr called and the hijack folded.
On a A♦ river, Shorr checked again and Deeb bet 55,000. Shorr called, and his straight with 8♥6♣ was good enough to take the pot.
"You missed some value..." Deeb chirped. "You think I play suited cards?"
