Hernan Villa in the cutoff three-bets to 28,500 on the main stage and Vikaash Shah in the hijack then four-bets to 68,500. Villa carefully considers the stack size of his opponent and calls.

Shah continues for 37,000 on the Heart JHeart 8Spade 8 flop and Villa goes deep into the tank. He first cuts out calling chips, then a raise, before the clock is called on him. Once given thirty seconds to act, Villa moves forward the raise and Shah calls all-in for slightly more than 100,000.
