Level 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Michael Lisman bet 6,000 from the big blind on a board of 5♣8♠Q♦10♣ and Aytumen Akyildiz called under the gun. Nathan Bomey then raised to 20,000 on the button, and only Akyildiz called.

The river was the 9♣ and Akyildiz fired out 25,000. Bomey immediately buried his head on the rail of the table and went deep into the tank, taking several minutes to consider the decision. The clock was eventually called before Bomey put in the chips.

Akyildiz showed K♥J♥ for a rivered straight, and Bomey mucked.
