Level 11 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Manig Loeser
Manig Loeser

Kahle Burns raised to 7,000 from the button before Manig Loeser re-raised to 28,000 from the small blind. Hideki Izutsu then three-bet to 75,000 from the big blind which saw Burns quickly fold. With the decision back on Loeser, he moved all in, for 288,500 in chips. Izutsu paused for a split second and called with 500 more chips behind.

Manig Loeser: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Hideki Izutsu: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

Loeser looked distraught after the cards were tabled. Then the dealer spread out the {3-Hearts}{j-Spades}{q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{k-Spades} giving Loeser the unexpected victory after spiking a king on the river to take down the pot with a set of kings.

Izutsu Takes Chip Lead, Burns Uses All His Time

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Hideki Izutsu
Hideki Izutsu

Dominik Nitsche opened to 4,500 from the cutoff and Kahle Burns called on the button, as did Michael Soyza in the small blind.

From the big blind, Hideki Izutsu three-bet to 30,000, and after Nitsche folded, Burns called and Soyza mucked.

The flop landed {J-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Izutsu checked over to Burns who bet 23,500. Izutsu quickly check-raised to 50,000 and Burns called as the {7-Spades} landed on the turn.

Izutsu looked at the dealer and announced he was all in.

Burns instantly asked for a count, and once the dealer broke it down, Izutsu's all-in bet was for 208,600 total.

Burns began to deliberate, and as his initial 30 seconds was set to expire, he flicked in a time extension button.

As that additional minute counted down to expiry, he tossed in his final time extension button.

"Five, four, three, two," counted down the dealer before Burns folded.

Izutsu dragged in the pot and claimed the chip lead off Burns.
