Mustapha Kanit is one of the 1,075 entries collected so far, and he was in the mix on Level 4.
The hijack opened to 800 before Kanit made it 2,500 from the button. The hijack called.
The hijack check-called for 2,000 on the K♣Q♣9♣ flop before the 8♥ turn checked through to the 10♠ river.
The hijack led out for 3,000, and Kanit quickly called.
The hijack tabled Q♥Q♦ for a set of queens but Kanit had the winner with K♠J♦, which was good for a straight.

: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
On a flop of K♥2♦10♥ Yingui Li bet 2,000 and his opponent on the button called.
The 9♠ fell on the turn and Li checked. His opponent shoved for his remaining stack and Li called to put him at risk.
Button: 10♦9♦
Yingui Li: K♦Q♦
Li would need some help, and it came in the form of a 2x on the river — upgrading Li to a superior two pair and eliminating his opponent from the tournament.
