The next hand, chipleader Daniel Charlton raises from the cutoff to 100,000, and Yinghao Zhuo uses two Time Chips to tank for more than a minute before he reraises from the button to 340,000, leaving himself just 25K behind.


Charlton rechecks his cards and says, "It's not aces," before he folds. Zhuo takes the pot.
