Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 6♣8♣4♥Q♥, Jonathan Roberts bet 35,000 from the cutoff and Neville Betty raised to 81,000 in the big blind. Roberts called and the J♠ fell on the river.

Betty then moved all in for 120,000, sending Roberts deep into the tank. He burned through four time bank cards until eventually folding as Betty took the pot without a showdown.

Thomas Erentz and Robert Shields were eliminated at the same time on two of the other tables, bringing the field down to 23 as the remaining players draw for seats at the last three tables.
