Struggle With the Time Bank

There seemed to be some raise and three-bet action, resulting in approximately 50,000 chips already in the pot.

Danut Chisu opted to check-call Stefan-Sebastian Ionita's 17,000 bet on the flop 4♠5♣6♣.

On the turn 6♥, Ionita placed a bet of 38,000, prompting Chisu to check-raise to 83,000. The use of time bank cards added some tension, with both players nearly missing their time to act. Ionita nearly folded due to hesitating in placing his chips for a call. The dealer reminded both players to communicate more effectively to allow time for chip placement.

Both players chose to check the river 4♦. Ionita revealed Q♠Q♣, while Chisu held just queen-high with Q♦9♣.
