Action picked up on a board showing 7♥8♦2♦ with Punnat Punsri involved in a hand against Jangkyu Lee and another player.
Punsri, who had less than 25,000, led out with a 5,000 bet. Lee looked at Punsri from across the table and raised to 25,400. The other player in the hand immediately folded and Punsri called to put his tournament at risk.
Punnat Punsri: K♦J♦
Jangkyu Lee: 9♠9♥
Punsri had the flush draw, but he was behind Lee’s overpair to the board.
The dealer placed 10♠ on the turn, and then the 4♥ gave Lee the winning hand and sent Punsri to the rail.

Wisconsin's Larry Ormson raised to 700 under the gun and cleared the field all the way to the player in the big blind, who opted to defend.
The flop came down 7♣J♣2♣ and action went check-check, as it did on the 9♣ turn.
When the Q♠ completed the board on the river, the player in the big blind checked and Ormson bet 2,000. The big blind quickly called and showed KxQx for a rivered pair, which bested the AxKx of Ormson.
