HAND #148: Jiaxu Chen raises to 800,000 on the button and Joshua McSwiney still stacks his chips from the double up. His shot clock reaches five seconds and he uses a time bank. Then uses another time bank and moves all-in, Chen folds.

HAND #149: Patrick Yazbeck on the button opens to 800,000 and Chen in the big blind announces a raise, but not how much. McSwiney points out to the floor staff that Chen exceeds the time (by one second) when he puts in his reraise to 2,800,000.

Yazbeck then uses a time bank and moves all-in. Chen asks for a count to see if he is covered and calls.

Jiaxu Chen: .
Patrick Yazbeck: .

The board runs out and Chen misses. His stack is 13,925,000 and Yazbeck covers with 15,825,000 to bring the field down to the heads-up stage. 

Patrick Yazbeck – 30,050,000 (100 bb)
