PokerNews was told that the hand was a series of check-bet-call action between Kai Cheng Hsu and Mauricio Ferreira Pais that resulted in a pot worth 200,000 on a board of 8♦9♣4♦5♣J♥.
Hsu under the gun was taking his time thinking about his action when he decided to pass it on to Pais once again. Pais fired 110,000. With 192,000 behind, Hsu went into the tank once again unmoving. In the end, he decided to shove all-in making Pais go into deep thought.
After a few seconds he decided to call. Hsu showed A♦10♦ for a busted flush draw and a bluff. Pais tabled Q♦Q♥. Hsu left the table as he scooped the pot telling the table that he wasn't sure if Hsu had a straight.

Ankit Ahuja started the action in late position and got called by big blind Simon Wilson to see a flop.
The flop came 4♥J♦Q♣ and got checked by both players. Wilson fired 13,000 on the turn 6♠ and Ahuja called. With only 31,000 behind, Wilson took some time to decide what to do next. After spending some time to think things over, he went all-in on the river 9♦ which made Ahuja fold immediately.

They checked all the way throughout the board K♦6♣4♠8♠ and a J♠ hit the river. It checked to Lee who bet 6,000 and it was enough to make Bardah and Punsri fold.

Oliver Bithell raised under the gun to 8,000 and got Jose Fibla and the blinds Yousef Saleh in small and Diego Serrano in the big blind to call.
The quartet saw a flop of A♥2♠7♥ and checked. Saleh led with a 7,000 bet on the turn 4♦ and pushed everyone out except for the original raiser Bithell.
Not letting up, Saleh fired another 15,000 on the river 6♠ and Bithell called. Saleh showed A♠5♣ prompting Bithell to throw his hand to the muck pile.

Ren Lin open-shoved in early position for his last 17,000, and it folded to Pedro Safar in the big blind who tanked a minute and called with J♠8♣.
"What a slow roll!" said Lin jokingly, before showing Q♥2♥. The board 3♣8♦2♦4♣Q♣ improved Lin's hand into two pair to earn the needed double up.
