Antonio Galiana: A♠9♦
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic: 5♣5♥

Danny Tang raised from the hijack, and Paul Hoefer three-bet the cutoff to around 180,000. Tang four-bet jammed with the covering stack, and Hoefer called for his stack of around 600,000.
Paul Hoefer: J♠J♦
Danny Tang: A♣Q♠
It was a flip that Hoefer came out on top of with his pocket jacks, as the board ran out K♦8♥4♦10♣6♥.
Tang was left with just a few big blinds, but he managed to find a double-up the very next hand at the expense of Christopher Vitch.
Action was picked up with Sergi Reixach, at risk, and John Kincaid in an all-in showdown.

Miscikowski bet in the dark prior to the 8♣ river being flipped over and Weng went back into the tank. The clock was called once more and with one second remaining Weng dropped in his last 15,000 and flipped over his A♣A♥. Miscikowski tabled J♦10♦ for a rivered straight to sent Weng to the rail in a brutal fashion.
