HAND #37  –  Malik Zaman raises from middle position to 4.2 million, Zak VanKeuren reraises from the cutoff to 10.2 million, and Zaman uses a Time Chip to tank for a while before he four-bets it to 24.2 million. VanKeuren folds, and Zaman takes the pot.


HAND #38  –  Zak VanKeuren raises from the hijack to 3.3 million, and Colin Hong calls from the big blind. The flop comes Diamond JHeart 8Spade 3, Hong checks, VanKeuren bets 1.8 million, and Hong check-raises to 4.2 million. VanKeuren calls.

The turn card is the Heart 10, Hong bets 6.9 million, and VanKeuren calls. The river card is the Club 8, Hong checks, VanKeuren moves all in, and Hong calls all in for about 17.8 million with Club 10Club 6 for two pair, tens and eights.

But VanKeuren turns over Spade 8Diamond 8 to win the pot with quad eights and eliminate Hong in seventh place.
