The turn brought the A♦ and both players checked their option.
The river came a total brick, the 5♠ , Truong checked once more, but Luangsuwimon started the betting action again with a 100,000 bet. Truong called but had to muck his hand after the Thai national showed A♥ Q♠ for top two pair.

Flight A
Suchart Turns Ace Against Andersson's Eights

Angunsri Suchart limped from under-the-gun and got a raise from Mikael Andersson. Vu Tuan Khanh Truong called from the button but after the blinds folded, Suchart, at risk, shoved all-in for 13,600. Andersson called and Truong got out of the way for a showdown.
Angunsri Suchart: A♣ 7♦
Mikael Andersson: 8♦ 8♣
Andersson gave a smile knowing he was ahead but needed to evade an ace on the board. The flop dropped 2♥ T♦ 6♠ which was a releif for Andersson. But the turn A♥ dashed his hopes as he knew his eights were beat. The T♠ river gave both players a two-pair with Suchart still winning the hand.
