Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

On thr three-way flop of 8♣6♠2♦, Rayhaan Adam in the small blind and Kabir Mulla in the big blind both checked. Jamie Vilela bet 12,500 and was check-raised to 26,000 by Adam for Mulla to fold and Adam to call.

After the A♥ turn, Adam's bet of 30,000 was called and he bet the 7♦ river for another 40,000.

"Such a good draw and I miss it," Vilela groaned and his shot clock expired once. He then grabbed the ace from the turn and said "stupid card" before another shot clock expired. He eventually called and Adam tabled the 10♣8♦ for a pair of eights, which won the pot.
