Mantel Takes One Out Without Noticing; Zhang Dodges Everything to Double
Ariel Mantel raised on the button, the big blind moved all in for around 150,000, and Mantel called.
All-In Player: K?Q? 
Ariel Mantel: 10?10?
The at-risk player took the lead on the 4?K?3? flop with a pair of kings, and the dealer started to push him the pot after running out the 8?J? board. The table then pointed out that Mantel had made a flush on the river to win the pot, while the big blind was sent to the rail.
The next hand at this table, Hongru Zhang raised to 24,000 under the gun and Mantel called in the cutoff, as did a player in the big blind.
Zhang continued for 42,000 on the J?2?5? flop and Mantel called. The big blind then raised to 115,000 and only Zhang called.
The turn was the 7? and the big blind moved all in. Zhang spent several minutes in the tank before calling for his last 284,000, turning over A?J? for top pair. His opponent had 6?3? for straight and flush draws but missed the 10? river as Zhang doubled up.
