Eardley Bets Big Against Jones; Otto Doubles Michael

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A pot of around 100,000 was already in the middle as Nathan Jones and Matthew Eardley went to the river on a board of 7J5K3. Eardley, on the button, then bet another 100,000.

Jones burned through multiple time banks before he mucked, surrendering the big pot. Tablemate Aaron Barone then arrived with 888poker bags for the table.

"At this point it's not just a bribe. It's more of a gift," Barone joked. The table didn't seem to appreciate the gift, though, as Barone was eliminated shortly afterward.

At the same time at another table, Ryan Otto bet 35,000 from early position on a board of 7Q3JK and Michalis Michael then moved all in for 104,000 in the hijack.

It was Otto's turn to use some time banks, tossing in three of them before calling with KQ. Michael, though, had JJ for a set to double up in the massive pot.
