Artan Dedusha fired three smaller bets on a board of 
and was called down by Mikkel Plum. Dedusha tabled the 
which Plum had beat with the 
for the superior kicker.
Over on the other table, Julien Martini raised and called the button shove by Nicolas Bokowski.
"Do you have ace-king?" Martini asked and Bokowski shook his head. When Martini flashed his cards, Bokowski played disgust but the cards were only turned over when the other hand was completed.

and Bokowski indeed doubled.
