The flop read A♠8♥K♣ when William Berry checked over to his heads-up opponent, Han Feng, who bet 25,000.
Berry thought for a few seconds before he made the call and the duo went to the turn 5♥. Berry checked once more to Feng, who continued for 80,000, which Berry called.
On the river 7♦, Berry checked once more, but this time Feng checked back. Berry then tabled A♣3♦ for a pair of aces and Feng promptly folded.

On a flop of Q♠8♦6♣, Abdul Al led for 30,000, Barrett Threadgill moved all in to cover, and Al called, putting himself at risk.
Abdul Al: J♣9♣
Barrett Threadgill: A♣10♣
Al was in bad shape with his inferior flush draw, and Threadgill also had his straight draw blocked with the ten, but that changed when the J♠ hit the turn to give him the lead. Now Threadgill would have to hit a club or a nine to win, but the 10♦ came on the river to improve Al to a straight and he was awarded the pot while Theadgill was left with ten big blinds.

Buckle up for this one...
Karthick Tamilselvam opens to 25,000 and is called by Greg Raymer, but then Chezz Romero raises to 220,000, leaving 24,000 behind. The action then folds back to Tamilselvam who moves all in, producing a quick fold from Raymer, and before Romero can act, Tamilselvam tables A♥A♦.
This obviously put Romero in a weird spot, knowing he is up against pocket aces but almost all of his stack is in the middle.
"F*uck it," he finally says after close to two minutes and sets out the rest of his chips to put his tournament life on the line.
Chezz Romero: A♠Q♠
Karthick Tamilselvam: A♥A♦
"Oh, that's all me!" Romero shouts as the flop comes 7♦J♠4♥.
"Come on, dealer! Do it!" he exclaimed as the turn came the 4♠ to give him a flush draw.
And wouldn't you know it, the 9♠ smacked down on the river to give him the flush as the whole table goes nuts.
