Moments after arriving back from break, a huge hand went down on Table 29. It started with the player in middle position and the cut-off limping into the pot, before the player on the button raised to 2,000. Aleks Brkovic was in the small blind, and looked down at his cards, before moving all in for his last 11,900 in chips. The decision was back on the player in middle position, who moved all in for his last 12,250. The cut-off folded, as the button called, to see the three players table their cards.

With the flop reading , Michael Kanaan checked from the hijack, as Jarrod Glennon thought for a moment, before throwing in 3,400. Kanaan made the call as the came on the turn. Again, Kanaan checked, and waited, as Glennon went into the tank, before throwing out 6,600. The bet was called as both players saw the complete the board.

Kanaan would check for the third time, as Glennon appeared to take longer with his decision. He ended up throwing out 20,000 in chips, which was enough to cover Kanaan’s stack. Kanaan looked down at his cards multiple times, and eventually folded, relinquishing the pot to Glennon.
