Level 16 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mathew Frankland used five of the 11 time banks he possesed before folding in the cutoff. The action then went on Ben Heath, who opened to 160,000 from the button. Vinny Lingham folded in the small blind before Chris Hunichen defended his big blind.

Hunichen check-called bets of 90,000 and 465,000 on the flop and turn for the board to read K♠10♠5♠4♥3♦. Heath used a time bank of his own before sizing up to 785,000.

Hunichen had around 2,500,000 behind and went into the tank. Two time banks later, he called.

"Jesus," Hunichen muttered as Heath tabled A♠A♦. The defending champion couldn't beat the rockets and the pot was pushed to Heath.

Taylor von Kriegenbergh opened to 160,000 in the hijack and Isaac Haxton three-bet to 350,000 on the button. Landon Tice four-bet shoved all in for 2,375,000 which got the attention of von Kriegenbergh and Haxton but they both folded.

On the next hand, von Kriegenbergh raised to 160,000 again and Haxton just flat-called in the cutoff. Aram Oganyan three-bet to 720,000 from the big blind and both von Kriegenbergh and Haxton folded again.

Barak Wisbrod: A♠9♠ All in

The board of Q♠J♠2♥2♦7♥ was no help for Hunichen, and Wisbrod found a double-up worth 2,000,000 chips.
