Hand #16: Phil Hellmuth raised to 140,000 from middle position, Ken Fishman called on the button and Steven Wolansky called from the big blind. The flop was 
and Hellmuth checked. Fishman bet 75,000, Wolansky folded and Hellmuth called.
On the 
turn, Hellmuth checked and Fishman bet 135,000. Hellmuth gave it some thought before he check-raised to 550,000, which sent Fishman deep in the tank. He gazed and the board, then at Hellmuth and back at the board, trying to figure it out.
After several minutes, he laid it down and Hellmuth collected the pot. Fishman inquired to Hellmuth's holding after the hand.
"Thirty minutes," Hellmuth said, referring to the delayed stream with hole cards.
Thirty minutes later, the stream revealed 
for Hellmuth and 
for Fishman.
Hand #17: Paul Hoefer shoved all in for 550,000 from early position and all other players folded.
Hand #18: Aliaksei Boika shoved the small blind and a shorter stacked Hoefer folded his big blind.
Hand #19: Boika raised to 120,000 on the button, Hoefer three-bet shoved 640,000 from the small blind. Hellmuth tank-folded and Boika snap-folded, much to Hellmuth's dismay, who indicated he would've snap-called if Boika wasn't in the hand.
Hand #20: Hellmuth completed the small blind and Matt Glantz checked his option. Both players checked the 
flop. Hellmuth bet 150,000 on the turn and Glantz gave it up.
