5K HR ($5,000)

With a board reading 8♠ 3♦ 6♦ Q♣ and the pot at 240,000, American Kou Vong checks his option from the utg+1 position while his opponent in the utg+2 position is Belarusian Aliaksandr Shylko who bets 110,000. Vang calls.

The turn is the 3♣ as Vang checks again. Shylko thinks awhile and uses a Time Bank card before betting 110,000 anew. Now it’s Vang who goes into the tank and in turn also uses one Time Bank card before declaring that he is all-in for his last 260,000. Shylko goes back into his think zone and again burns a Time Bank card. The Belarusian ultimately opts to fold.

Shylko has now been hit in succession during the same orbit.
