Gal Naim raised to 320,000 on the button and Lois Dufouleur defended out of the big blind.
Both players checked the 9♣4♥J♣ flop to see the K♥ hit the turn. This was checked again by both players and the 6♦ appeared on the river. Dufouleur led out for 450,000 and Naim called.
Dufouleur confidently turned over J♥3♥ for a pair of jacks, which was enough to win him the pot.

Yun Choi opened from the button and Demosthenes Kiriopoulos went all in from the small blind for around 2,400,000 chips. Choi thought for a moment and called.
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: A♥Q♦
Yun Choi: A♦4♦
Kiriopoulos was way ahead, but the flop 4♣J♠10♥ turned thing around completely. Kiriopoulos needed a queen or a king.
The turn was the 8♣ and the river 6♥, changing nothing and Kiriopoulos’s tournament was over.

According to the players, Zong Chi He had just moved to the table. At the start of the hand, he thought he was under the gun and wanted to fold his hand. He was then told he was actually the big blind and had to post it. Gal Naim opened under the gun and it folded around to He, who defended.
The flop came 7♥8♠7♣. After a check from He, Naim threw in a continuation bet of 200,000. He called.
The turn 6♦ got checked by both players.
On the river, which was the A♥, He checked again. Naim then bet 480,000 chips, to which He responded with an all in for 3,750,000 total. Naim needed some time to think. It was a massive pot and while he had He covered, he would have been crippled if he called and was wrong.
After some time, Naim put in the call. Very quickly, He said: “You win,” and turned over 8♣5♥ for the pair and turned open-ender. Naim jumped out of his seat and excitedly celebrated his call, which sent a pot of around 8,000,000 chips his way. His holding was A♦K♥ for the rivered aces up.
The dealer verified the chip counts to confirm He indeed was the shorter stack, and he headed to the rail.

Niklas Astedt came into Wednesday's World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event finale as a heavy favorite, but he left with a sour taste in his mouth.
The online poker legend known more affectionately known across the poker world as "Lena900" was the player to beat with three left in poker's world championship event. He had the biggest stack and the most experience playing at such a high level. But he'd make an abrupt exit from the tournament on Day 10 just two spots shy of the $10 million first place prize.
