Arends Delivers a Cooler To Double and Take Chip Lead
Sam Greenwood opened to 80,000 in middle position and was called by Jans Arends in the cutoff. Steve O'Dwyer three-bet to 310,000 from the big blind, getting a fold from Greenwood and a call from Arends.
Action went heads up to the flop 
and O'Dwyer used up 25 seconds of his 30-second shot clock before making a continuation-bet of 160,000. Arends thought for an equal amount of time and then called.
The turn came 
and O'Dwyer thought again, putting out a bet of 300,000 as the dealer gave him a five-second warning again. Arends then went into the tank, needing a time bank extension and about 15 seconds of his allotted time to match the bet.
The river fell 
and O'Dwyer then went into the tank, using an extension of his own and needing another 25 seconds before announcing he was all in. Arends immediately called and both hands were tabled.
Jans Arends: 
Steve O'Dwyer: 
The kings-versus-aces scenario led to Arends earning a double at O'Dwyer's expense, taking O'Dwyer below the million-mark as Arends now finds himself chip leader with seven still remaining.
