With some 32,000 in the middle to the K994K river, Brian Hastings checked and the button made it 12,000 to go. Hastings check-raised the pot to 48,400 with one hundred chips behind. His opponent eventually called and Hastings tabled the KK44 for quads.

According to Jan-Peter Jachtmann, the pot had been three ways preflop and the turn was checked.

Three-way action became two after Barny Boatman three-bet to 2,800 and Nick Schulman slid out a four-bet to 9,800. Boatman made the call and the 6K4 flop was revealed.

Schulman bet enough to put Boatman all in and the call was made. The 2 turn and 7 river did not help Boatman, as Schulman turned over AA75 to take down the pot.

The cards were already on their backs by the time the board showed J1023 with Yingui Li and Edmund Chan getting their chips into the middle of the table.

Yingui Li: AKJ7 All in
Edmund Chan: AJ106

Li had top pair and the nut flush draw but Chan was ahead with the top two pair. The river was the 3 and that sent Li to the rail.
