Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action was limped around to Jeremy Trojand in the big bind who raised the pot to 56,000. He picked up three callers in the process and they went four ways to a flop of J♠9♥8♣.

Trojand checked and Ethan Cahn threw in a bet of 75,000. Laszlo Bujtas called on his left and the other two players folded. The turn was the 10♦ and both players checked to the Q♦ on the river.

Cahn checked again and Bujtas announced a bet of 260,000. Cahn went into the tank, flicking in time bank one after another. After five time banks were used, Cahn finally slung his cards into the muck.
