On a -board, Jens Lakemeier in the small blind had both 28,000 and his cards open in front of him. His opponent, cutoff Julian Stuer, had 102,000 in front of him and his cards closed.
The floor and some players from other tables had gathered. It turned out Lakemeier had bet the river for 28,000. Stuer had put in a short cylinder of chips which Lakemeier had interpreted as a call. There were some 25,000-chips mixed in, though, so it was in fact a raise and not a call.
Lakemeier's hand was still live and he had the option to call or fold, raising wasn't allowed anymore. Lakemeier eventually folded, leaving the pot to Stuer. On top of losing the hand, he also received a 4-hand penalty.
Start of day chip leader Jerry Wong opened under the gun for 18,000 and his neighbor William Kassouf called. The action folded to Niall Farrell in the small blind and he squeezed to 70,000. The big blind folded and action was back on Wong. He shoved for 335,000 and Kassouf folded. Farrell called.

Jerry Wong:

Banicevic uncapped his cards, thought awhile, then pushed all of his chips in, about 300,000. Ivarsson folded after briefly thinking, and Banicevic showed .
Maksim Nosenko put in all of his chips from middle position, and so did Alexander Ivarsson on the button.
Nosenko:

Ivarsson expressed disgust at the cooler but that changed quickly when flopped. Now, it was Nosenko feeling sick, and neither the turn nor the river helped him come back.
