Ozgur Secilmis: A♠K♥

Dmitrii Astratov: A♣K♠
Toni Kaukua: A♥K♣
Both players showed the same hand and were poised for a chop as the flop came Q♥J♥6♣. The turn was the 5♥ and Kaukua picked up a flush draw as a collective gasp arose from the table, while the river was the 10♥ to give Kaukua his flush and send Astratov to the rail.
Returning from break after losing the big pot to Parham Ghadamgahi, Dmitrii Kuzin moved all in for 79,000 from the cutoff after Alain Hajj had opened to 12,000 in middle position and Ghadamgahi called in the hijack. Hajj folded, but Ghadamgahi called to try to finish off Kuzin.
Dmitrii Kuzin: K♥Q♠
Parham Ghadamgahi: 7♦7♥
The flop came 10♠10♥9♠, while the 5♠ turn gave Kuzin a flush draw. He began shaking his queen as he pleaded for another spade, and he got his wish as the A♠ fell on the river to give up a double up.
