With around 6,000 in the pot and a flop of 
, 2005 World Series of Poker champ Joe Hachem checked from the hijack and Martin Jacobson, who won the WSOP Main Event in 2014, checked behind on the button. Action repeated itself on the 
turn and then Hachem checked for a third time when the

After a raise and a three-bet, it was Mike McDonald cold four-betting from the big blind to 11,000. The initial raiser gave up but Josep Lopez Galindo from Spain, the player who had three-bet, made the call from the button.
The flop came 
and McDonald continued with a bet of 10,000. Galindo made the call and the popped up on the turn. McDonald bet 12,000 with about 30,000 or so behind and Galindo went into the tank.
He in fact went so deep into the tank, it didn't look like he was able to get out on his own. That was when Daniel Reijmer decided to step in and help him a little bit by asking for the clock.
The floor came over and informed Galindo he had limited time to act on his hand: "You got one minute mate!"
With about 20 seconds or so left, Galindo silently slid his cards into the muck. McDonald started stacking his newfound chips, building a castle with blocks worth 82,000 total.

"Ow no! That was a fast one! Brutal! Good luck boys" Celina Lin said to the table.

Matthew Wakeman just recapped the action for us on a hand which saw Lisa Shanahan double up her stack. Shahana caught our attention when she jumped up out of her seat after getting to show the quads she flopped, after Wakeman put her all in on the turn.
The action started with a raise by Wakeman and the player on his left called before Shanahan called from the big blind. The flop brought out 
and Shananan check-called a bet from Wakeman, putting the on the turn.
Shanahan checked again on the turn, and Wakeman put her all in for just 8,000 chips. Shanahan snap-called right away, and jumped out of her seat in excitement showing 
for quads. Wakeman showed 
, and after the 
river he doubled her up.

"All in and a call Table 27," a dealer yelled.
We made our way over to discover Martin Ward was all in preflop for 22,500 against David Evans, who barely had him covered with a stack of 23,000.
Ward: 
Evans: 
It was a big coin flip for both as the loser of the hand would either be out or close to it. Ward was the one at risk and needing to improve, but much to his dismay that didn't happen as the board ran out 
.

and Levy fired 2,800. Farrell called and check called another 5,600 on the turn as well. The river came the and Farrell checked for the third time.
"How much you got?" Levy asked Farrell. The British EPT Malta champion replied he had 13,700 left.
"I'm all in" Levy said not much later, followed by stack of yellow 5,000-chips getting placed in the middle.
Farrell thought about it for just half a minute or so before committing his chips.
Levy's face said enough; he showed his for not much of anything. Farrell triumphantly showed his 
for the winning hand en could start stacking.
