Danil Karpov
During the final hands of the night, Danil Karpov ran a "sick bluff" against San Kang that wasn't rewarded on a board of 5 ♦️ 3 ♦️ 2 ♦️ J ♠️ 7 ♣️ as Kang called all-in for 127,000 with the 10 ♦️ 8 ♦️ for the ten-high flush.
Karpov only had A ♦️ Q ♠️ for the nut flush blocker and they counted the chips. Karpov's 128,500 covered by only 1,500 in chips.
Two hands later, he was forced all-in from the big blind. Czardy Rivera raised from under the gun to 4,000 and Shenglai Zhang called on the button.
Rivera bet the A ♣️ K ♥️ 10 ♥️ flop for 3,000 to get called and check-folded the 7 ♦️ turn to a bet of 6,000.
Karpov revealed the 8 ♦️ 6 ♣️ and needed a nine, as Zhang was ahead with the K ♣️ 6 ♠️ . The 8 ♠️ river wasn't enough and that sent Karpov out with two hands to go.
