Level 14
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 25,000 from the cutoff and Juan pardo defended the big blind. The flop of 4?Q?7? was checked by both players before Pardo led out with a large bet of 55,000 on the 3? turn. Ponakovs called and the 10? river completed the board.
Pardo used one time bank extension before shoving all in, covering Ponakov's 210,000 remaining chips. Ponakovs then went on to use all of his time bank extensions. It was not until he had five seconds left that he flung his cards towards the muck, awarding the pot to Pardo.

On the flop 3?3?7? Ponakovs and Pardo checked to Pardo, who bet 25,000. Ponakovs called, but Sturm folded.

Artur Martirosian kicked off the action with a raise to 24,000 from under the gun. Gha Iakobashvili then made a tiny three-bet to 40,000 from the hijack before Leon Sturm cold four-bet to 135,000 from the small blind.
Martrirosian quickly folded, but Iakobishvili thought it over for quite a while. Ultimately, though, he too would fold, claiming to have mucked his pocket tens.
