Level 12 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Martin Stausholm check-called 50,000 on the A♠K♠Q♥Q♠ turn from Taylor von Kriegenbergh.

The river was the 6♥ and Stausholm checked.

"I feel like being a nit," said Von Kriegenbergh before checking back. "I have a monster hand."

"So did I before the turn," replied Stausholm tabling AxKx, with Von Kriegenbergh showing 10♠8♠ for a flush and the winner.

"At least you didn't get put in the blender!" said Stausholm.

Level 13 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action was on Shawn Daniels under the gun who used four time bank extensions before folding. Fellow short stacks Erik Seidel and Lewis Spencer both folded after running down their 30-second shot clock, with a Sam Soverel open enough for him to take down the pot.

With 49 players remaining, the table, which was next to break, was keen to get one more hand in.

"I'm sure Erik [Seidel] will use a couple under the gun," remarked someone at the table.

"I don't usually use them," replied Seidel.

Seidel and Spencer used up their shot clocks, before Soverel opened again. It folded to Daniels in the big blind who instantly folded.

"The other one was tough," he said, as the table finally broke.
