Michael Maruna had bet out for 5,000 into a pot of around 12,000, with Deshan Woods making the call. Marjan Martinovic then raised to 25,000, which was enough to put the other two at risk should they make the call.
After some tanking, Maruna called all in, much to the dismay of Woods.
"Oh my god," he said, laughing. "I don't know what you guys have but I'm folding," he said, tabling A♦8♦ for top pair, top kicker. As it turned out, he made the correct fold.
Michael Maruna: J♥J♦

Action got to Shota Ozaki on the button, who seemed to have a decision on his hands. After a brief pause, he put in a raise to 8,000. Confused, Pineda mucked, Patitucci did the same, allowing Payne to jam for just under a starting stack. Ozaki asked for a count, which came to 29,400, and went deep into the tank. After some minutes, he ended up folding, as Payne became the table's big stack without seeing a flop.
