Rene Koch raises from middle position to 50,000, and Bekim Murtezi calls from the big blind.

The flop comes Heart KSpade QClub 3, Murtezi checks, Koch bets 55,000, and Murtezi moves all in for nearly a million.

Koch uses three of his last four Time Chips to tank for nearly two minutes before he calls with Heart 10Diamond 10. Murtezi turns over Diamond JClub 10 for an open-ended straight draw, and Koch needs his hand to hold to stay alive.
