Leon Sturm opened 1,100 in the hijack and Daniel Kyosev three-bet 4,500 from the big blind. Sturm made the call.
When the 8♠4♥2♣ flop hit the felt, Kyosev continued for 6,000 and Sturm stuck around with a call.
The Q♦ hit the turn, and Kyosev fired 6,500. Sturm called again.
The dealer rolled the 7♥ on the river and Kyosev slowed down with a check. Sturm announced all-in, putting Kyosev in the tank. After asking for a count and the dealer letting him know it was 19,100, he eventually surrendered the pot.
Sturm tabled the A♣, which triggered a response from Kyosev. "I guess the other one is a queen then." He then continued, "One card isn't enough. I can handle none or both, but not one."

Brandon Wilson raised to 900 from under the gun and Dongwuk Moon popped it to 2,700 next to act. The action folded back to Wilson and he called to see a flop of 4♦4♣2♣.
Wilson check, Moon bet 1,800, and Wilson woke up with a check-raise to 4,400. Moon called and the dealer burned and turned the A♠.
Wilson checked again and Moon simply moved all in. Wilson had about 20,000 behind and thought for a bit before tossing his cards to the muck.
Moon indulged him by showing just the A♦.
