The {5-Diamonds} appeared on the river, and they checked for a showdown.

Khera Correctly Calls

The start-of-day chipleader needed to use two time banks over his decision but ultimately called.

His opponent flipped over {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}, and Khera revealed {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for a higher pair to win the pot.

Ben Winsor

Craig McCorkell was playing from the small blind, and Benjamin Winsor was in middle position when they got all their chips into the middle preflop with almost identical stacks.

Winsor: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
McCorkell: {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Board: {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{a-Spades}{6-Hearts}

Winsor increased his lead on the flop with top set, although McCorkell had outs to the straight. But Winsor's hand held strong on the turn and river. Winsor's stack was confirmed at 88,000, and McCorkell was left with just 6,000.

In the next hand, McCorkell was all in from the button with queen-jack suited and up against pocket fives. The flop brought a five, and McCorkell was eliminated.

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The pot was around 21,000 with the flop down {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} and Aaron Khera had bet 3,500 from the big blind, which Alexandru Papazian had called from the cutoff. Hong Pham raised to 13,500 in the small blind and only Papazian called before the {10-Spades} hit the turn. Pham continued for 27,000 and received the call, with the {j-Diamonds} coming on the river. Pham moved all in for 60,000, with Papazian having a 240,000 stack.

"I have a really good ace" said Papazian, as he used a time bank card.

Another 30 passed and he used a second time card to think, but ultimately folded.
