Yoon Kang completes the small blind to 60,000, Ankit Ahuja raises from the big blind to 220,000, and Kang calls.

The flop comes Heart JSpade 9Heart 3, Kang checks, Ahuja bets 200,000, and Kang check-raises to 540,000. Ahuja uses two Time Chips to tank for more than a minute before he calls.

The turn card is the Club 8, and Kang uses a Time Chip to tank for a while before he bets 775,000, leaving himself a single 25K chip behind. Ahuja thinks for a while before he moves all in, and Kang uses three of his four remaining Time Chips to tank for two minutes before he calls all in for 800,000 with Heart KHeart 6 for a king-high flush draw.

Ahuja turns over Spade 10Heart 10, and Kang needs a king or any heart on the river to stay alive.

The river card is the Spade Q, and Ahuja wins the pot with a queen-high straight to eliminate Kang in 11th place.

Ankit Ahuja  –  9,000,000  (150 bb)
Yoon Kang  –  Eliminated in 11th Place  ($33,000)
