Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a heads-up flop of 4♣J♥7♦, Gil Shadower checked to his opponent, Brandon Dirnberger, who bet 30,000.
Shadower tossed out a call and the players went to the turn 2♦. Shadower checked again, Dirnberger continued for 50,000, and Shadower called.
On the river 2♣, Shadower checked once more to Dirnberger, who eyed his chip stack before he moved all in for 99,000.
Shadower went into the tank for over a minute before he decided to let it go, at which point Dirnberger showed him A♥Q♣ for ace-high.
"Agh, I knew you had ace-king or ace-queen! Nice bet," Shadower said as the pot was pushed over tp Dirnberger.

Jeff Copeland opened to 10,000 and was three-bet to 25,00 by Sean Maurer, which he called to see a flop of A♥6♦Q♣.
Copeland checked, Maurer bet 19,000, and Copeland called to go to the turn 7♦. Copeland checked to Maurer once more, who cut out a bet of 57,000 and the action was back to Copeland.
After thinking about it for around 20 seconds, Copeland announced he was all in and Maurer quickly slid his cards to the dealer to award him the pot.
