Level 10 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Danny Tang raised to 85,000 from the cutoff, Brandon Wilson three-bet to 375,000 from the big blind and Tang called.

Both players slowly checked to the river as the full board now read J♥Q♦8♥7♣J♣. Wilson placed a very delayed continuation bet of 350,000 and Tang put in a raise to 885,000; a considerable portion of Wilson's remaining stack.

Wilson used a total of five time banks across the whole hand before finally throwing his cards into the muck.

Level 10 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jans Arends opened to 85,000 from the cutoff before Seth Gottlieb three-bet to 225,000 from the small blind. Jonathan Jaffe was in the big blind and jammed as the covering stack. Arends quickly folded while Gottlieb committed his stack of 1,520,000.

Seth Gottlieb: A♠A♦ All in
Jonathan Jaffe: K♣K♦

Gottlieb's aces remained best on the Q♥4♥2♠ flop and made a set on the A♣ turn to lock up the hand, ahead of the 5♠ river.
