The board read {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Spades}{a-Spades} when Vojtech Ruzicka bet 28,500 into a pot of around 22,000. His opponent was Steven Bennett and he went into deep thought. It took a couple of minutes but Bennett decided to fold to the pressure from the 2016 Main Event fifth-place finisher Ruzicka, and the latter won the pot.

Song Chips Back Up

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

The action was opened by a player in middle position with a raise and both Martin Stabilio and Stephen Song called from the blinds.

After the both players checked, the initial raiser continued for 6,000 on the {k-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop which was enough for Stabilio to fold but Song had other ideas and raised to 16,000. A call was made and both players checked on the {6-Diamonds} turn before again checking to the showdown on the {5-Spades} river.

Song, who started the day as the big chipleader, announced 'five' before he revealed {a-Spades}{5-Clubs} for two pair and his opponent reluctantly mucked.
