"I need a king," stated Bekerian.

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Bin Weng opened the button to 13,000 and Feng Qu three-bet to 34,000 from the small blind. When the action got back to Weng, he shoved all in. Qu was covered with almost 400,000 chips in his stack, and snap-called the shove which left him at risk.

Feng Qu: A♦K♦ All in
Bin Weng: J♦9♣

A huge call from Qu on the bubble and he didn't even give it a second thought which created a monster pot between the two.

The dealer put out a flop of 5♣7♣8♠ which added a double gutshot straight draw for Weng, which he would complete on the 10♥ turn. Qu was drawing dead and started to grab his belongings when he saw the A♠ land on the river, which surely rubbed some salt in the wound.

As Qu was leaving, he said some words in Chinese aimed at Weng that didn't sound too friendly.

"He said 'great play'," remarked Weng.

Chen Puts a Beat on Parys

Kai Cocklin

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a flop of 8♥2♦J♣ with around 150,000 chips in the pot, Maxime Parys bet 37,000, and Dong Chen called.

A 4♣ landed on the turn and after some time, Parys shoved all in for 101,000. Chen didn't need to think for too long before he made the call.

Maxine Parys: A♣K♣ All in
Dong Chen: 9♣7♣

Parys was in a great spot to double up and just needed to fade a ten, nine or seven on the river that wasn't a club. However, it wasn't the Frenchman's day as the 7♥ river paired up Chen, which meant Parys was eliminated just short of the money.
