One table over, Chin Wei Lim open-shoved for 230,000 first to act and Tony G reshoved from one seat over for more.

Chin Wei Lim: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Tony G: {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}

The {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop improved Tony G and Lim was ready to redeem his add-on but the {a-Diamonds} turn and {10-Spades} river improved him to a straight.

Badziakouski on Second Bullet

Level 7 : 0/0, 8,000 ante

Mikita Badziakouski and Paul Phua had clashed with the former holding the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} and the latter tabling {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. The board was already completed as Phua raked in the massive pot with top pair on {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and exclaimed in table chat "if you don't have the flush draw, you fold."

Badziakouski had to redeem his add-on and pointed on his phone.

"I have kings here, but don't tell anyone," as he played a cash game hand online while waiting for the next game to start. Apparently, he also lost with kings to ten-four.
