"I agree," Seiver replied.

Moncek eventually stuck in a call and Seiver said, "Jack," as he tabled his hand. Moncek turned over 5x4x2x for an eight and collected the pot.

Limit Hold’em

Xixiang Luo raised from middle position and was three-bet by David Benyamine in the hijack. Yueqi Zhu made it four bets to go on the button, which got a fold from Luo and a call from Benyamine.

Benyamine checked on the 7♣2♠K♣ flop and Zhu went all in for his remaining chips. Benyamine called and a showdown was held.

Yueqi Zhu: A♥K♥ All in
David Benyamine: 5♦5♥

Zhu had way the best of it with his pair of kings, but the 5♠ fell on the turn — improving Benyamine to a set of fives and leaving Zhu drawing dead.

An irrelevant 9♦ completed the board and Zhu was eliminated in ninth place.
