On a flop of A♥Q♦7♥, Hokyiu Lee bet and then called the all-in of Michael Devinsky before instantly asking if his table neighbour had a set of queens.
"Ace queen," Devinsky replied and rolled over his A♦Q♠10♣8♦. Lee had outs with the A♠K♠J♦6♥ but bricked the 7♠ turn and 5♦ river for Devinsky to double for 16,800.

Ever misread your poker hand and felt like an amateur? Don’t worry. Even Daniel Negreanu does it.
The Poker Hall of Famer and seven-time WSOP bracelet winner has been eliminated from this year’s $10,000 Pot-Limit Omaha Championship after a rare misread led him to shove all-in against American player Mark Steinberg with his tournament life on the line.
The remaining 541 players are going on another 15-minute break.
Three players went to a flop of K♠9♣5♣ with nearly 10,000 in the middle and Daemon Richardson bet 7,500. Noel Rodriguez called in position and Mark Davidoff also came along from the big blind.
The turn was the 7♦ and the action checked around to the 9♥ on the river. Davidoff checked again and Richardson threw in a bet of 25,000. Rodriguez raised the pot which got instant folds from Davidoff and Richardson.
From the button, Damjan Radanov bet 5,000 on the turn of a board that showed 2♣9♦Q♣8♠. Giuseppe Pantaleo check-raised to 22,700 from under the gun, which Radanov called.
The 7♦ landed on the river and Pantaleo jammed for Radanov's last 25,000. Radanov didn't take long to fold, and forfeited the pot to Pantaleo.
The cards of Michael Noori were exposed for the showdown and then instantly went into the muck what appeared to have been pocket queens and two clubs, up against the Q♦9♦6♣5♣ of Laszlo Bujtas on the 8♣7♠2♣ flop. The 4♦ turn gave Bujtas a straight and the J♦ river was a blank to send Noori to the rail.
Michael Spegal had bet 4,000 from the button on a flop of 2♠10♦3♥. Matthew Valeo check-raised to 11,500 from the blinds, and Spegal called.
The Q♣ landed on the turn and Valeo jammed for roughly the size of the pot, which was around 30,000. Spegal instantly called.
Matthew Valeo: J♦9♠7♠6♥
Michael Spegal: Q♥Q♦10♥4♦
Valeo was bluffing but did have a straight draw against the top set of Spegal. The 6♠ hit the river, and all of Valeo's chips were sent over to Spegal.
