Vieira Goes Deep Into Tank And Calls Jam From Imsirovic

Brandon Bloom

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

Before the blinds went up and with a flop and about 35,000 in the pot, Ali Imsirovic checked in the big blind, Joao Vieira bet 12,500 from the hijack, and Imsirovic raised to 25,000 in the big blind. Vieira called.

The came on the turn and Imsirovic jammed, putting Vieira to the test for his 45,000 stack. Vieira went deep into the tank and eventually, the clock was called him. As the tournament director counted down the final seconds, Vieira threw chips in to signify the call.

Imsirovic first showed only an eight, which prompted Vieira to show only a king before the players fully revealed their cards.
