Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With around 50,000 chips in the pot on a flop of Q♣5♣3♠, Samuel Bekerian was all in for his last 83,000, and Pedro Madeira made the call.

Samuel Bekerian: K♠2♣ All in
Pedro Madeira: 10♠10♥

"I need a king," stated Bekerian.

It was a king that Bekerian needed but he never found it as neither the Q♠ turn nor A♠ river was able to save him from elimination.

Weng Turns the Nuts to Eliminate Qu in Huge Pot on the Bubble

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Bin Weng opened the button to 13,000 and Feng Qu three-bet to 34,000 from the small blind. When the action got back to Weng, he shoved all in. Qu was covered with almost 400,000 chips in his stack, and snap-called the shove which left him at risk.

Feng Qu: A♦K♦ All in
Bin Weng: J♦9♣

A huge call from Qu on the bubble and he didn't even give it a second thought which created a monster pot between the two.

The dealer put out a flop of 5♣7♣8♠ which added a double gutshot straight draw for Weng, which he would complete on the 10♥ turn. Qu was drawing dead and started to grab his belongings when he saw the A♠ land on the river, which surely rubbed some salt in the wound.

As Qu was leaving, he said some words in Chinese aimed at Weng that didn't sound too friendly.

"He said 'great play'," remarked Weng.
