Nanonoko KO'd

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

In a blind vs. blind situation, Randy Lew's opponent, who had Lew covered, went all-in. Lew fell hard into the tank and looked visibly distraught, but managed to convince himself to make the (right) call for his last 35,000.

Nanonoko: {A-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Opponent: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Lew was punished despite making the correct call, however, as the flop ran out {J-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Hearts}, leaving Lew well behind.

The {J-Spades} turn and {J-Hearts} river were no help to Lew, who was sent to the rail in disappointing fashion.

Brady Finds a Spot

From the hijack seat, Kyle Bowker raised to 5,000. The cutoff seat three-bet to 13,700 and then action moved to Matt Brady in the small blind. He reraised all in for approximately 70,000. The big blind and Bowker folded back to the cutoff seat. He sat and tanked for a bit to give Brady a sweat, but wound up folding as well.

Longest. Hand. Ever.

Level 15 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Martin Kabrhel entered the pot with a raise to 4,900 which was called by Victor Ramdin next to act and Christian Harder from the button as both blinds called too.

The {K-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} flop was checked through to Ramdin who cut out a 11,000-chip bet which was smooth-called by Harder as the blinds passed.

Throwing a virtual death stare at Ramdin for nearly two minutes, Kabrhel eventually slid out a raise amounting to 30,200. Ramdin instantly mucked, but it was now Harder's turn to dive deep into the tank for nearly two minutes before he made the call.

With the dealer dropping the {2-Hearts} on the turn and the hand already lasting over six minutes, Kabrhel sat there motionless as not one, not two, but four minutes went by before he slid out two stacks of chips amounting to a 39,700-chip bet.

Harder didn't as much time as the previous street to make a decision; and that decision was a fold as he slipped to 85,000 while Kabrhel climbed to 210,000 in chips following a near 15-minute hand.

Allen Bari has doubled up and now has 67,500 in chips. He'd love for everyone to know that and to also give him a shout out on Twitter where his handle is @allenbari.

Lemke turned over {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, but Bonyadi had him beat with {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}.
