On a heads-up pot of A?9?7?, it checked to Jonathan Hoal and he bet a hefty 10,000. Corne Schalkwyk tank-folded the A? and was shown the A?. The other card was flashed to Hoal's table neighbour Clinton Heap only, who then said he was very happy to have folded ace-ten.
"I didn't want to see any more diamond," Hoal replied.

The Hendon Mob battle between two Germans indeed unfolded as part of a five-way flop of K?8?4? with 6,000 in the middle. It checked to Jon Persent and he bet 2,000. Hermann Schweiger raised to 5,100 with around 6,000 behind and Toran Tate folded. Florian Bock then check-raised to 15,000 and Persent folded, Schweiger called all-in with the words "no choice".
Hermann Schweiger: 7?4? 
Florian Bock: A?6?
The four was ahead but the 6? turn left Schweiger in desperate shape. Bock locked up the elimination with the Q? river for good measure.

Greg Mokgoathleng raised the button to 800 and called a three-bet to 1,900 by Gregory Maistry in the small blind. Maistry bet the 9?7?5? flop for 3,700 and the 3? turn for 6,500, both of which Mokgoathleng called. On the A? river, both checked and Maistry tabled the 10?10?.
"I was hoping for a ten," Mokgoathleng said as he flashed the J?8? for a missed double gutshot.
