Approaching the second break of the day as level four draws to a close, there have now been 335 entries.
That is closing in on the 400 that this event attracted in 2016 with late registration open for another four levels, closing just before the start of Level 9.
Although no official figure has been announced, approximately 15 players have bust so far today,
Brandon Shack-Harris had bombed the river for 15,000 and action was on Russian player Ivan Naumov.
Naumov was deep in the tank with 17,500 chips behind. Tough decision or not, another player decided he’d had enough time to make up his mind and clock was called. Naumov was given 30 seconds and, before the time hit zero, his cards hit the muck.
Three players were in contention on the flop with around 20,000 already in the pot.
Scott Bohlman was first to act and he bet small, making it only 3,000. Ismael Bojang thought for a moment and then called, but next to act was James Akenhead, who moved all in for 8,300 total.
Bohlman paused for about 30 seconds, and then reshoved. Bojang released his hand immediately.
James Akenhead:
Scott Bohlman:
Akenhead held the best hand at the moment, but Bohlman had a plethora of outs. The turn extended Bohlman's options to scoop the pot, giving him a flush draw. The river then completed Bohlman's runner-runner flush, forcing Akenhead out of his chair.
