Isaac Haxton raised to 560,000 from under the gun and it folded to small blind Jesse Lonis, who made the call.

Tyler Smith raised to 400,000 from middle position. The action then folded to Matthew Wantman in the small blind who three-bet to 1,360,000, around half of his remaining stack.

"All in", said Smith, who still played heaps of chips. Wantman instantly put in the extra chips and made the call.

Matthew Wantman: A♣K♦J♣7♥
Tyler Smith: A♦A♠K♠2♠

Smith's aces flopped two pair on 5♦Q♦5♠, solidifying his lead. Wantman was dead when the 4♥ turn arrived, and he took his payout voucher as the 2♣ river hit the felt.

Floor Ruling Slows Down Kronwitter

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 23 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Matthew Wantman, Kabeelan Rajamurthy, and Jonas Kronwitter each checked the K♥10♠2♠ flop as the 8♦ fell on the turn.

Kronwitter now led out for 250,000 and Rajamurthy folded, while Wantman called. The river came the 2♥ and Kronwitter checked.

Wantman fired out 730,000 and Kronwitter asked the dealer how much was in the pot. The dealer replied that they couldn't reveal that information with action pending and Kronwitter then asked for the floor to be called over.

A tournament official then ruled he was allowed to know how much was in the pot with action pending on him, but Kronwitter decided to let his hand go.

"That ruling saved one of us a lot of money. Because I was going to raise the river before that," Kronwitter told Wantman.
