Action is joined on a board of 3♥K♣6♥10♠ and Shaun Deeb checked it over to Brian Kim who put out a bet of 12,000. Deeb went into the tank for about a minute before stacking all of his chips and putting them in the middle. The count came to 29,000 and action was back on Kim.

He took his time and thought it over, clearly with a difficult decision on his hands. After about a two minutes in the tank he flicked in the chips.

The cards hit their back.

Shaun Deeb: J♣10♣
Brian Kim: A♦10♥

"Why the slow roll?" Deeb said jokingly to Kim as the dealer burned and turned the blank river and Deeb hit the rail. He was however already seen registering again and will be right back in the mix.

There was an open under the gun to 3,500. Brent Hanks called in the cutoff and Aliaksandr Shylko made the call in the small blind. The players were off to a flop three ways.

The A♣6♣5♥ flop hit the felt and Shylko started with a check. The preflop raiser made it 2,500 and both Hanks and Shylko made the call.

The 8♦ turn rolled off and now Shylko went into the tank for a moment before leading to the tune of 9,500. The under the gun player snap folded but Hanks made the call.

The A♠ hit the river and Shylko went into the tank for about a minute before putting one blind to the side and sending the rest into the middle. Hanks only took a minute before making the fold and Shylko dragged a big pot to take him out of the short stack play.
