After a raise from Preben Stokkan and a call from Sergio Aido, Kfir Ivgi three-bet to 145,000 on the button. Stokkan four-bet shoved a little over 700,000, Aido folded and Ivgi went in the tank.
"You have ace-king? If you have ace-king I'm winning," Ivgi said, but the icy Norwegian didn't move a muscle. Ivgi used up one of his time bank chips before folding.

The early double up of Preben Stokkan has been canceled out as the Norwegian just paid off JC Alvarado to drop back to where he started. Stokkan defended his big blind to a raise by Alvarado and check-called a bet of 50,000 on the 
flop.
Both players checked the 
turn and Stokkan also checked the 
on the river. Alvarado bet 260,000 and Stokkan used a time bank extension before eventually calling. As soon as Alvarado had turned over 
for trips eights, Stokkan mucked and that made Alvarado a chip millionaire.
