The board read 5♦8♠A♥K♦ in the heads-up pot when Robert Burnett check-called a bet of 16,000 from big stack Gabriel Andrade.
The pot then had around 60,000 in it when the river rolled off the J♠. Burnett checked once more and then Andrade decided to check back.
"jack," Andrade announced and showed J♥9♣, which turned out to be good against Burnett's 4♦5♦ for a pair of fives.

Venkat Chivukula: 6♣8♠
Jessica Richards: A♥Q♣
Matthew Liu: K♥K♠
"Hold!" Liu shouted as he held the upper hand, and fortunately for him, the runout was pure as it came 3♣10♠4♠2♣10♦ and he scooped the pot while Richards and Chivukula exited.
Not ones to be deterred both of them have rebought and are back in the tournament with a starting stack of 60,000.
Collin Rountree moved all in preflop for around 40,000 and the action folded around to Yunkyu Song who was thinking about it.
He then busted out his 20-sided die and turned to Rountree...
"Ok, you roll it, if its six and under, I call," he said, and Rountree picked it up and rolled a five. Song then held true to his word and quickly called to put Rountree at risk.
Collin Rountree: A♦K♣
YunkyuSong: 6♦6♥
The board ran out 7♦5♥Q♣Q♠9♠ for Song's sixes to hold and he scooped the pot while Rountree was sent to the rail .

After a preflop betting war, Zhong Wilkerson and Thai Ha got all of the chips into the middle, with Ha at risk.
Thai Ha: 6♥6♠
Zhong Wilkerson: A♥10♦
An ace appeared right in the window of the 9♠4♣A♠ flop for Wilkerson to take the lead, and the runout of 4♦8♦ secured her in the pot. Ha immediately went to the cage to re-enter and is already seated at another table.
"See, I told you i was going to f*ck him up," Wilkerson told the table after Ha made his exit.
