Action was caught on a board K♠10♦9♦3♠6♣ when Jon Kyte bet 740,000 on the river, more than Majed's stack, who was in the tank.
According to Majed after the hand, he opened to 30,000 from the cutoff, and Kyte three-bet in the small blind. Majed decided to four-bet to 220,000, and he received a call.
On the flop, Majed bet another 120,000, and Kyte check-called. Then, on the turn, both players checked.
Back to the river, Majed was struggling to make a decision. He took a couple of minutes to think, and he decided to put himself at risk by calling.
Jon Kyte: 7♠7♦
Rene Majed: A♠10♣
Majed took a deep breath of relief when he discovered Kyte's hand and flipped the winning hand. His tablemates like Dario Sammartino congratulated him by tapping the table. Then Majed stood up to release the pressure and sat down again to stack his 2,100,000 chips.
There was a raise to 30,000 from under the gun and the next player to act made it 80,000. Jonathan Gaviao four-bet to 200,000 and the action folded back to the three-bettor who shoved all in for 520,000. Gaviao quickly called and the cards were tabled.
Opponent: Q♥Q♣
Jonathan Gaviao: J♥J♦
The flop fell 7♦3♠2♠ and the pocket queens were still out front. However, the J♣ hit the turn giving Gaviao a set of jacks as the table moaned. The K♥ completed the board and Gaviao was awarded the pot.
With Michael Mizrachi making his way to the payout cage, PokerNews caught up with his former table who recounted his bust-out hand.
The under-the-gun player raised to 30,000, Dean Lyall two spots to their left called and Michael Mizrachi defended in the big blind.
The flop of 9x7x4x checked through to the 10x on the turn. Mizrachi took the lead for 50,000, the original raiser folded and Lyall raised enough to put 'The Grinder' all in for his tournament life. Mizrachi called.
Michael Mizrachi: Jx10x
Dean Lyall: 9x9x
The rivered Jx couldn't help Mizrachi and he was sent to the rail.
Theo Devidal raised to 30,000 from the hijack and former chipleader Emmanuel Lopez three-bet to 100,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Devidal, who made the call.
The flop came 6♦5♠6♥ and Devidal checked to Lopez, who bet out 80,000. Devidal made the call and the 3♠ arrived on the turn.
Devidal checked again and Lopez went all-in for around 350,000. Devidal snap called with the covering stack.
Emmanuel Lopez: 9♦9♣
Theo Devidal: A♠A♥
Devidal had slowplayed his aces and Lopez was drawing slim. The 7♥ river completed the board and Lopez said his goodbyes while the Frenchman stacked his chips.
Four ways to the 8♦7♥6♠ flop, Doyun Ku bet 55,000 with the A♣8♥ out of the big blind. Jason Somerville on the button was the only caller with 10♠9♠ for the nut straight and added a flush draw to go with it on the J♠ turn.
Ku bet another 150,000 into 425,000 and Somerville opted to flat-call. The 3♣ river triggered a bet of 150,000 by Ku and
