Action was picked up on the turn, with a board reading Q♠A♦8♣2♣. The pot was heads up, contested between Champie Douglas and Thomas Brownscombe.
Brownscombe had checked to Douglas, who bet 40,000 into 83,000. Brownscombe pondered before making the call, bringing in the 3♠ river. Yet again Brownscombe checked, and this time Douglas sized to 60,000, before being check-shoved on. Douglas asked for a count, which amounted to 411,000, meaning if Douglas called and was wrong, he would only have 5 big blinds to his name.
A long tank ensued, as Douglas milled over his options for over four whole minutes. In the end, he folded A♥3♥ face up, announcing "pocket eights in the house." "Show me an eight!" he added. Brownscombe refused and returned his cards face down.
Adam Singer was on his last legs in the tournament when he open jammed for 75,000
from early position. His wager was called by Carmino Argiero in the next seat over to put him at risk.
Adam Singer: 3♣3♦
Carmino Argiero: K♣K♥
Singer needed help after finding out it was pair versus pair, but the help did not come as the board came out 2♠Q♣6♥2♥K♦ to send Singer to the payout desk.
