There looked to be about 16,000 in the pot on the river of a 
board. Brian Green checked the action over to Dan Smith who tossed a big bet of 25,000 out in front of him. Green took his time and made the call just before his clock ran out.
Smith turned over the 
, flopping a set of aces, and running out a boat and Green tossed his cards in the muck.
Benjamin Pollak opened from under the gun and called a three-bet to 38,000 from Isaac Haxton just one seat over. The flop fanned out 
and Pollak checked. Haxton fired a bet of 11,000 and Pollak came over the top with a raise to 38,000. Haxton needed a timebank chip and ended up making the call.
The 
hit the turn and Pollak moved all-in getting a quick fold from Haxton.
