"I win," Greenwood announced as he turned over {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for a full house and Petrangelo conceded the pot.

The turn was the {j-Hearts} and Heath checked again. Watson sized up a bet of 18,000 this time and Heath stuck around to see the {k-Hearts} on the river.

Heath checked for the third time and Watson made a pot-sized bet of 50,000. Heath used two of his time banks but decided to send his cards to the muck.

Reixach Sends Dvoress Into the Tank

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sergi Reixach and Daniel Dvoress were heads-up in a three-bet pot with around 45,000 in the middle. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Dvoress checked from the big blind. Reixach bet 15,000 in early position and Dvoress called.

The turn brought the {2-Hearts} and Dvoress check-called another bet of 55,000 from Reixach. The {9-Spades} completed the board and Dvoress checked again. Reixach used a time bank before shoving all in, putting Dvoress to the test for his remaining 114,000 chips.

Dvoress spread out his six remaining time banks, knowing that he would need some time to think about this one. After using five of them, Dvoress finally slid his cards forward and the pot was shipped to Reixach.

Grafton Misses the Freeroll

Level 6 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sam Grafton opened to 6,000 from under the gun and Mikalai Vaskaboinikau three-bet to 26,000 in the cutoff. Daniel Dvoress four-bet shoved all in for 188,000 in the big blind and Grafton re-shoved over the top. Vaskaboinikau sighed as he leaned back in his chair and ultimately decided to lay down {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} face up.

Daniel Dvoress: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Sam Grafton: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Both players held the same hand but on the flop of {j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}, Grafton picked up the flush draw. The {7-Spades} and {10-Diamonds} runout bricked out and both players took their chips back.

"I call," Vaskaboinakau said in hindsight.

"If you called, I would have been very excited on the flop," Grafton emphasized. "Very excited!"
