5K HR ($5,000)

Another big hand in progress sees a pot of 160,000 on the river with a board of A♠ 8♣ 3♥ 3♣ Q♣ and former Day 1 chip-leader Thian Andhoko of India in the tank and burning one Time Bank card before announcing a bet of 100,000. His opponent, Manuel Carvalho of Portugal, takes all of two seconds to make the call.

Andhoko is compelled to show J♦ T♦ while Carvalho tables A♣ 6♠ for top pair on the flop. The call brings the Portuguese player’s stack to near the one million mark while Andhoko’s plummet continues.

India’s Thian Andhoko opens from the button for 8,000 and gets re-raised to 29,000 by Song Yunkyu of Korea from the sb. WSOP Bracelet winner Brian Green of the United States then 4-bets all-in for 110,000 from the bb ending the hand as his two opponents choose to fold.

After losing in a huge pot earlier to Portugal’s Manuel Carvalho, former chip leader Thian Andhoko of India is on the button and 3-bets to 25,000 a hijack raise of 8,000 from China’s Zheng Xiaosheng which gets a call.

The flop comes A♣ 8♠ 4♥ as Zheng checks. Andhoko CBets 30,000 and the Chinese player calls. The turn is the 7♠ as Zheng checks again. This time, the Indian unleashes 60,000 and till gets called. The river is the 9♣ as Zheng checks a third time. Andhoko now pumps it up to 100,000 causing Zheng to go into the tank and burn three Time Bank cards in the process. He eventually opts to fold as Andhoko gets a small rebate from a different player.
