With two players seeing a board of 10♣7♣5♣ and roughly 20,000 already in the middle, Halil Tasyurek found himself all in and at risk with a stack of approximately 140,000 against Azamat Tulepbergenov who covered.
Halil Tasyurek: K♣8♣
Azamat Tulepbergenov: K♥K♠
Tulepbergenov was in dire shape with an overpair against Tasyurek's flopped king-high flush. The 8♥ turn left him drawing dead and after the A♥ river Tasyurek collected a colossal double up at Tulepbergenov's expense.

Tomasz Szczerbinski opened to 3,200 from early position and Huseyin Kaba made the call from the hijack before Viktor Yugay three-bet to 13,000 from the button. Szczerbinski folded while Kaba called.
The flop came Q♣Q♥5♠ and Kaba check-called an 8,000 continuation bet from Yugay.
Both players checked the 8♥ turn leading to the 7♥ river. Kaba bet 11,000 which was enough to force a fold from Yugay.
