After a flop of 8s6h4h, Mitchell Halverson checked the big blind, Sergio Aido bet 115,000 from the hijack, and Halverson called.

The turn card was the 5c, and both players checked.

The river card was the 10c, Halverson bet 200,000, and Aido moved all in. Halverson went into the tank for a very long time with about 455,000 left in his stack.

Aware of how much time he was taking, Halverson eventually apologized to the table, saying he’d need another minute.

About a minute later, Halverson folded, and Aido took the pot.

Sergio Aido  –  4,325,000  (72 bb)
Mitchell Halverson  –  455,000  (8 bb)

Meanwhile, at the featured table, Martin Zamani was eliminated in 16th place.

16th:  Martin Zamani  –  $44,685

With 15 players remaining from a field of 1,110, the average chip stack is around 2,955,000 (49 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $54,920 each.

Action will continue today until there are seven players remaining for tomorrow afternoon’s live-streamed final table, scheduled to begin at 1:00 pm.
