Wang Smacks the River to Leave Wojciechowski on Fumes; Stamatis Hits a Two-Outer to Stun Kotowicz
Pawel Wojciechowski raised to 200,000 in the cutoff, Yuhan Wang moved all in for 1,900,000 in the big blind, and Wojciechowski called.
Yuhan Wang: A♠10♦ 
Pawel Wojciechowski: A♦K♠
Wang was dominated and at risk as the flop came 6♠8♠J♦. The 6♦ turn left him a card from elimination, but he spiked the 10♥ on the river. "What the f**k!" he yelled out after earning the fortunate double up, leaving Wojciechowski nursing an extreme short stack.
At the same time at another table, Sebastian Kotowicz and Alkiviadis Stamatis had all their chips in the middle, with Kotowicz at risk for 2,700,000 in the small blind while Stamatis went for the knockout on the button.
Sebastian Kotowicz: A♣K♦
Alkiviadis Stamatis: 8♠8♦
It was a massive flip with more than 5,000,000 at stake, and Kotowicz took the lead on the J♥K♥A♠ flop with two pair. The turn was the 3♠, but Stamatis spiked the 8♣ on the river to make a set and send Kotowicz shaking his head on the way to the payout desk.
