Veerachai Vongxaiburana bet 250,000 from the button on a flop of 9♦8♥2♥ and Phil Hui called.
The turn was the 2♦ and Vongxaiburana bet another 400,000. Hui again called to the 6♠ river, where Vongxaiburana bet 1,000,000. Hui then announced pot and Vongxaiburana snap-called.
Hui showed K♦Q♥9♣5♣3♦ for a low, while Vongxaiburana had nines full of deuces to chop the pot.
A few hands later, both players checked to the turn on a board of 9♣2♦Q♠5♥ when Vongxaiburana bet 400,000 from the button. Hui called and the river was the 7♦.
Vongxaiburana then bet 1,000,000 and Hui raised to 4,500,000. Vongxaiburana quickly called once more with K♠J♣6♥8♦4♦ for a straight, while Hui had A♣7♠5♠3♦2♠ to chop another pot.
