Level 8 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Cary Katz's raise from the cutoff was three-bet to 350,000 by Isaac Haxton on the button and Katz called to see a flop of {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}. Katz checked and called a bet of 165,000 before doing so again on the {J-Spades} turn for 800,000. Katz then checked the {6-Hearts} on the river and Haxton used one time bank before betting 3,500,000.

Katz let his own initial 30 second shot clock run down and then asked how much the bet was, before calling.

"You win," Haxton announced and rolled over the {K-Hearts}{Q-Spades} for a bluff. Katz had that beat with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} for trip aces and scored the double. He was about to rake in the pot before the dealer reminded him that the bet of Haxton covered his remaining stack.

"Oh, in that case, I would have folded. Just kidding, I wouldn't," Katz added, and his double-up was counted to be for 3,020,000.

While dragging in the pot, Katz noted, "Good investment of a time bank."
