Hutter needed some help, and while the turn was paint, it wasn't what he was looking for. Hutter needed either a queen or jack on the river to survive, but it was not meant to be as the blanked. A disappointed Hutter made a hasty exit from the Amazon Tan section nine spots shy of the money.

Double Clock

[user101598]

Level 16 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Christos Papulis raised to 11,000 on the button, and Jolmer Meelis went into the tank out of the small blind. The Dutchman — sitting with a stack of 38,500 — tanked for several minutes before the clock was called on him, and he subsequently allowed the clock to expire, killing his hand.

The next player to act was Ryan Tepen with 44,500 left, and he tanked for a long enough time for the clock to be called on him as well. Unlike Meelis, Tepen moved all in with one second remaining on his clock, confusing Papulis.

He tank-folded, and Tepen was pushed the pot.
