20K (SHR) - 8 HANDED ($20,000)

Cutoff Dan Cates makes it 10,000 and takes two customers to the flop 6♦ J♠ 2♣ where he continues for 10,000, button Quan Zhou pays up and Nevan Chang flicks in his last 1,000 for the turn 3♠ to drop. Zhou calls another 16,000 before folding to an 80,000 bet on the 8♦ river. Chang wins the main pot with 8♠ 9♠ and Cates collects a small side pot with A♦ 2♥ .

Cutoff Dan Cates laid out 8,000 before filling up small blind Nevan Chang's 32,000 three-bet. Cates triple barrels 25,000, 50,000 and 94,000 all-in on 6♣ 9♠ A♥ 7♥ A♣ with Chang check-calling all the way, using up four time banks on the river with A♦ 5♦ but has to surrender the pot to Cates' A♠ K♥ .

First to act Gary Thompson leads 5,500 and takes button Nevan Chang to the flop 2♣ 4♣ 4♠ where Thompson starts a triple barrel sequence of 11,000, 13,000 and 55,000 to the turn K♦ and river 7♠ . Chang calls all the way, but mucks after Thompson flipped over K♠ K♣ full house. Both Of them needed a time bank to make their decision on the river.

With a 4,000 open and a 14,000 re-raise in front, Nevan Chang cold four-bets 39,000 from the small blind holding 9♦ 9♣ and takes only hijack Taylor Black with Q♠ Q♦ to the flop 7♠ 2♥ 2♣ . Black calls a 22,000 c-bet before the 6♦ turn gets rejected for a free river Q♥ . The second nuts in hand, Black fires 30,000 for value and Chang needs two time banks before finding a call.

Too many outs for Barer on the river J♣ lets Chang collect his double up.

Under the gun Nevan Chang - Thursday's AAPoker Deep Stack Champ - opens 2,500 and takes two customers to the flop 8♥ K♦ 5♠ where his 4,000 c-bet keeps only cutoff Gary Thompson around for the K♠ turn. Chang slows down to a check-call of 12,000, the board completes 2♠ and Thompson's 33,500 bet gets the job done.
