Leon Sturm opened 1,100 in the hijack and Daniel Kyosev three-bet 4,500 from the big blind. Sturm made the call.
When the 8♠4♥2♣ flop hit the felt, Kyosev continued for 6,000 and Sturm stuck around with a call.
The Q♦ hit the turn, and Kyosev fired 6,500. Sturm called again.
The dealer rolled the 7♥ on the river and Kyosev slowed down with a check. Sturm announced all-in, putting Kyosev in the tank. After asking for a count and the dealer letting him know it was 19,100, he eventually surrendered the pot.
Sturm tabled the A♣, which triggered a response from Kyosev. "I guess the other one is a queen then." He then continued, "One card isn't enough. I can handle none or both, but not one."

Brandon Wilson raised to 900 from under the gun and Dongwuk Moon popped it to 2,700 next to act. The action folded back to Wilson and he called to see a flop of 4♦4♣2♣.
Wilson check, Moon bet 1,800, and Wilson woke up with a check-raise to 4,400. Moon called and the dealer burned and turned the A♠.
Wilson checked again and Moon simply moved all in. Wilson had about 20,000 behind and thought for a bit before tossing his cards to the muck.
Moon indulged him by showing just the A♦.

Caesars Entertainment has finalized the $500 million sale of the biggest brand in poker to GGPoker's parent company, according to an announcement in late October.
Back in August, Caesars Entertainment shocked the poker world when it announced that it would be selling World Series of Poker (WSOP) to NSUS Group Inc, a leading investment group and operator GGPoker. The deal was solidified Tuesday and includes a $250 million cash transaction and a $250 million promissory note due in five years.
Though the WSOP sale marks a shakeup in the industry, poker players can still expect the summer WSOP to be held in Las Vegas for the next 20 years. Additionally, poker rooms at Caesars properties will continue to feature WSOP branding.
