Rogen Chhabra just doubled up to 145,000 on a board of Kd9c3c5h8s. Looks like he got it all in after the flop with Kc4c for a pair of kings and a flush draw, and the pair of kings was enough to win the pot.

Rogen Chhabra  –  145,000  (363 bb)

At Table 25, the player in the hijack raised to 1,000, Graham Matthews reraised from the cutoff to 4,600, and the hijack tanked for a while before he called.

The flop came 5h5c4c, the hijack checked, Matthews bet 3,700, and the hijack called.

The turn card was the Qh, the hijack checked, Matthews bet 6,700, and the hijack called.

The river card was the Js, the hijack checked, Matthews bet 11,600, and the hijack tanked for a long time before he folded. Matthews took the pot.

Graham Matthews  –  55,000  (138 bb)
