Level 17
: 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
There were 135,000 chips in the middle in a heads up pot between Robert McDowell in early position and Jamie Whyte in the cutoff. McDowell checked on the 3?4?2? flop, after which Whyte made a bet of 40,000. McDowell made the call and the 4? was turned.
Another check followed from McDowell and Whyte bet 75,000 chips this time. McDowell spent a few minutes in the tank before complying with a call, after which the A? river completed the board.
After a third check from McDowell, Whyte shipped all in for his remaining 135,000 chips and received a snap call from his opponent. McDowell showed 5?5? for the rivered straight, but it was no good against the A?4? of Whyte, who rivered a full house.
McDowell was left with just 7,000 chips, but he doubled up twice in the next two hands to still be in contention for the title.

Stacks were already in the middle and cards on their back as Shaun Dooley was all-in and at risk versus Huy Hang.
Shaun Dooley: A?10?
Huy Hang: 9?9?
Dooley needed some help and thought he had received it after the 6?10?4? flop put him into the lead with a pair of tens.
However the 9? turn left Dooley drawing dead after Hang hit his set, rendering the A? river irrelevant.

Big stack Francis Onwuka limped in from middle position before Robert McDowell jammed all in for 147,000 from the cutoff. Big blind Ollie Clark then put his own stack of 23,000 at risk and Onwuka made the call as well.
Ollie Clark: K?10?
Robert McDowell: 9?9?
Francis Onwuka: K?Q?
McDowell was the only one to make a full house on the 6?5?6?6?A? board, securing his double-up and sending Clark to the rail.

Paraic Hughes got his final 30,000 or so chips in from the button and was looked up by Shane O'Connell in middle position.
Paraic Hughes: 9?9?
Shane O'Connell: 4?4?
O'Connell made a wheel draw on the A?K?2?5? runout, but the K? paired the board and secured Hughes' double-up to seven big blinds.
