Level 8 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Following a flop of {J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and with about 350,000 in the pot, Elio Fox checked from the small blind and Dario Sammartino bet 150,000 from the cutoff. Fox used a time extension before check-raising all in with a covering stack, and Sammartino called after about 10 seconds.

Fox showed {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs} for a pair of jacks, trailing Sammartino's {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}.

The {Q-Hearts} turn gave Fox a few extra outs with a flush draw, but he didn't need it as the {A-Clubs} river fell to give him aces and jacks to eliminate Sammartino.

After the hand, there was a little confusion as to how many time extensions Fox used in the hand.

"It was one preflop and one on the flop," said Fox. "And I still made an incredibly terrible play, but it worked out great!"
