The flop comes 
, Strebel checks, and Frick bets 175,000. Sheva calls, and Strebel check-raises all in for 800,000. Frick uses a Time Chip to tank for a while before he folds, and Sheva uses four Time Chips to tank for more than two minutes before he calls with

Manfred Eberhard Frick – 3,300,000 (33 bb)
Milad Sheva – 1,325,000 (13 bb)
