Level 17 came to an end with a handful of eliminations and a big lay down. We missed the action until the board was out to the turn reading QdTs2d7c and ~55,000 in the pot.

Adam Briggs bet 45,000, Michael Cohen raised to 105,000 and Briggs took his headphones off. He thought for a minute and folded his hand but not before showing his pocket aces. Cohen showed his hand as well and his QhQs flopped top set to make it a great laydown for Briggs.

Michael Cohen – 450,000 (56 bb)
Adam Briggs – 465,000 (58 bb)

Blinds are up to 4,000/8,000 with an 8,000 ante and the average stack is 275,000 (34 bb) with 59 players remaining.
