Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
With roughly 600,000 in the pot on a 
completed board, Jake Schindler had 150,000 over the betting line in early position, and Fabian Schaefer Carreno raised to 675,000 in middle position. Schindler thought for a while before deciding to move all in for his 1,760,000 chips.
"I knew you were gonna do that," Carreno reacted. "Then I didn't think so cause you took so long."
Carreno continued to talk quietly as Schindler sat in silence directly to his right. Ultimately, Carreno put in the chips to signify a call. Schindler slammed down 
onto the felt, and his bluff attempt with the ace of diamonds was no good, as Carreno's 
claimed the pot with a straight.
Schindler, who won his first bracelet earlier this year and is also widely known in the poker world for having cheating allegations against him, was left standing with no chips as he joylessly awaited a payout slip before he made his way to the payout desk on Day 5 of the Main Event.

On a completed board of with roughly 1,500,000 in the pot, Robert Minor had moved all in from the cutoff and Alex Keating had a huge decision in the hijack for his stack of approximately 1,600,000 and his tournament life.
"Why did you check so quick on the turn?" asked Keating, although he received no response.
Keating continued to talk quietly to himself and sometimes to his opponent while trying to make sense of the situation, as the television cameras awaited his decision.
"What's your name again?" Keating again tried to get his opponent to talk, but continued to receive no reaction. After some time, the clock was called. "Not a problem," Keating conceded that he was taking a long time to decide.
Keating put his hands on his pained face, and ultimately, put in the chips as he jumped up out of his chair and looked the other way, unable to lay his eyes on the result.
Minor tabled 
for a full house, and Keating turned back around to see the bad news. "Nice hand," he said as he graciously shook his opponents' hands as his own hand was revealed to be . Keating turned away from the cameras and stayed standing in disbelief before making his way to the payout desk as his deep Main Event run came to an end.
