Derwiche Doubles, Weis Wins From Cheng
There was a last gasp burst of action just before the dinner break with France��s Imad Derwiche getting the last of his chips in pre-flop with 
and Germany��s Oliver Weis making the call with 
.
The board ran out 
to grant Derwiche the double and he climbed to around 250,000. Weis did not look too unhappy about this as had chips to spare.
The German player managed to recoup his losses just a few hands later, though it would be Yat Wai Cheng who would be footing the bill.
Pre-flop it was Cheng who was the initial aggressor, opening the action with a raise to 26,000 from the hi-jack, only to see Wies come over the top from the button to the tune of 72,000.
Cheng made the call taking the action heads-up to a 
flop, which both players checked. The 
turn brought a second check from Cheng and a bet of 64,000 from Weis. The shot clock ticked down and Cheng made the call with just seconds to spare to bring the action to the 
river.
Cheng checked once more and Weis reached for chips, sliding out a chunky bet of 165,000. This sent Cheng into the tank for the second time in the hand and he shot Weis a suspicious stare. Evidently, Cheng did not believe Weis as he made the call, but could only pitch his cards into the muck when Weis turned over 
for the nut full house.
