It's not every day you see professionals make it 10x pre-flop, but that's exactly what Mustapha Kanit did from the cut-off. Stranger still, he got two callers in Michael Watson on the button and Charlie Carrell in the big blind.
The flop came and Carrell checked to the pre-flop aggressor Kanit, who did the exact opposite of what he did pre-flop and threw out a bet of 10,000. Again, both Watson and Carrell called.
That was the end of the aggression as all three players checked down first the turn, which was the and the river: the . Carrell showed first, with one diamond short of scooping the flush. Meanwhile, Kanit and Watson both turned over and chopped the pot with a gentle fist bump. As the dealer split the pot, Kanit leant over and manoeuvred the holecards so that it was vs . He then coughed enough to draw attention to the dealer, who look bemused for a second before the whole table burst out laughing!
Bryn Kenney moved all in for his last 79,000 chips from the button and was called by Ariel Celestino. In the big blind, Christoph Vogelsang tanked for around four minutes while David Peters moved all in three times one table over to scoop each pot without showdown.
Then, Vogelsang made the call and the two remaining players checked the flop . On the turn, Celestino bet 52,000 to scare off Vogelsang and Kenney was already drawing dead with his , Celestino had the .
At the same time, Peters three-bet shoved again for all in number four in the new level. This time, Chance Kornuth made the call.

Kornuth:
The flop improved Peters to a set while the turn changed nothing whatsoever. However, the river changed the outcome of the hand towards Kornuth with a straight.
Christoph Vogelsang has increased his stack and so did Kevin MacPhee, while Ariel Celestino dropped down to less than 20 big blinds. The latest hand saw the Brazilian open to 17,000 from under the gun and MacPhee called on the button. On the flop , Celestino continued for 17,000 and was called before checking the on the turn.
MacPhee now bet 36,000 and Celestino counted his stack carefully, then verified with the dealer how much it was to call before tossing in the chips. The river was checked through and Celestino's ended up second-best to the of MacPhee.
With the board reading , Paul Newey checked out of the big blind and Bryn Kenney fired a bet of 50,000 for what looked like two third of the pot. Newey wasted little time before sliding forward his stack of T-25,000 chips and Kenney quickly folded.
Daniel Dvoress limped from the small blind and Sean Winter checked in the big blind. The flop came , and Dvoress lead for 10,000. "If you've flopped trips I'm in bad shape!" said Winter, before making the call.
The turn was another five, the and this time Dvoress check-called Winter's bet of 16,000. On a river of the Dvoress bet 29,000 and Winter shoved for his remaining 119,000. Dvoress must have been expecting the move but nevertheless took his time before throwing out a solitary chip to call. Winter himself was the player who had flopped trips, showing , as Dvoress flashed before throwing them into the muck
