Kyle Hamilton raised in early position to 260,000, and only Evgeny Urubkov called, defending his big blind.
The flop came down K♥4♥8♦ and Urubkov checked. Hamilton then made some enquiries concerning Urubkov's stack, confirming it to be 815,000. Hamilton was happy with this amount and moved all in covering his opponent. It seemed like bad news for Hamilton when Urubkov delightedly beat him into the pot.
Evgeny Urubkov: 8♠8♥
Kyle Hamilton: 9♥9♣
Urubkov had good reason to be confident, having flopped middle set.
There was no help to be found for Hamilton on the 6♣ turn or 10♣ river, and he slid over a pile of chips towards Urubkov.

Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Hesham Ayoub on the button and Alexander Savchenko in the big blind.
With about 800,000 in the middle and the board reading A♣7♦10♦6♦, Savchenko moved all in to put Ayoub at risk who had about 800,000 behind.
Ayoub thought for a moment before making the call.
Hesham Ayoub: A♠6♣
Alexander Savchenko : K♦6♠
Ayoub needed to fade a diamond, and the river Xx was a brick earning him the double up.

We joined the action with both Vicente Pena and Jeffrey Rogers' cards on their back, having got all the money in preflop.
Jeffrey Rogers: Q♣Q♥
Vicente Pena: A♥J♣
It was Rogers at risk, but this pot was for almost all of Pena's stack, also.
The flop 8♣8♠K♠ was a good start for Rogers, and although the 8♦ gave Pena one more out, it was still looking good for him.
The river was a cruel blow, though, coming the A♠. This gave Pena almost a full double-up but, in doing so, sent Rogers to the rail.
