Piotr Nurzynski raised to 3,000 and Jason Anand called on the button. Ruida Lin then three-bet to 16,500 in the small blind and Nurzynski folded, Anand called.

Lin instantly fired a bet worth 13,500 on the K♣K♠5♥ flop and that sent Anand into the tank. After one minute, Lin called the clock on him and a floor was called but no countdown came to place.

Ultimately, Anand folded and inquired with the floor how much time needed to pass before clock could be called.

Lin, in the meanwhile, explained that his other previous tabled had been playing slow and "I don't like to play slow".

Michail Manolakis: J♦J♣
Alessandro Minasi: K♥K♣

It was looking game over for Manolakis as the 2♣4♥6♦Q♦ board ran out, but the J♥ river saw him hit one of his two outs and he doubled up to stay alive in the Main Event.

Sam Grafton bet 5,500 from the hijack on a flop of 7♦2♠6♦ and Bryan Paris folded in the cutoff, but Patrick Faraut stuck around and called from the button.

The turn was the 3♣ and Grafton led out for another 10,000. Faraut then moved all in for 52,000.

"Tough spot," Grafton said as he tanked for more than a minute while cameras surrounded the table. He eventually called and turned over 8♠8♥, finding himself ahead of Faraut's A♦5♦.

Grafton needed to avoid Faraut's straight and flush draws on the river as the dealer turned over the K♣, securing the pot for Grafton. The stacks were counted down and Grafton barely had Faraut covered, sending him to the rail. "Unlucky, sir," Grafton told Faraut.

"Such a nitroll. I should've done this. Eights, let's go," Grafton said, motioning as if he was slamming his chips in the middle.

EPT Barcelona champ and Grafton's now-fellow Team PokerStars Pro Simon Wiciak has recently joined this table.
