Carlo van Ravenswoud raised to 140,000 in the hijack and was called by Martin Dam in the cutoff and big blind Sondre Sagstuen.

The flop came A♣4♥8♠ and Van Ravenwoud bet 140,000. Dam then moved all in for 425,000, Sagstuen folded, but Van Ravenswoud quickly called.

Martin Dam: A♠9♥7♠6♥ All in
Carlo van Ravenswoud: A♦K♣Q♥3♣

Both players had top pair, but Van Ravenswoud was ahead with his king-kicker. Dam was looking to complete a straight draw and improved to two pair on the 7♥ turn, but Van Ravenswoud made aces and eights on the 8♣ river to win the pot and send Dam to the rail.

Sondre Sagstuen limped in from the cutoff before Rob Yong raised to 140,000 on the button. Carlo van Ravenswoud then reraised to 500,000 in the small blind, and Yong called.

"I'm not short on these," Yong said as he tossed in his pile of time banks. He took a few minutes before eventually giving up his hand.

"You happy?" Yong asked Van Ravenswoud.

"Relieved. Big fold?" Van Ravenswoud replied.

"First time I've used a time bank, so probably," Yong added.
