: 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Brendan Waite opened for 65,000 in the cutoff position and Blair Hinkle, in the big blind, reraised to 165,000. Waite called and the flop came 
. The action was on Hinkle and he fired out 137,000. Waite called and the 
peeled off on the turn. This time, Blair checked and Waite's bet of 137,000 was check-raised all in. He went in the tank for a good five minutes before finally releasing his hand. Waite lost half his stack in the pot, while Blair padded his lead to over 2,500,000 chips.
