Ventura Gets the Maximum
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Picking up the action on the river, Diego Ventura on the button was involved in a hand with a player in the big blind.
With the board reading 10♦3♦6♥4♠Q♣ the big blind checked and Ventura moved all in with the covering stack. That sent his opponent deep into the tank as he mulled over his decision for several minutes.
Eventually a player not involved in the hand called the clock and the big blind was given thirty seconds to act. He did end up making the call as time expired with 6♣5♣ but it turned out to be a hero call gone wrong as Ventura held 6♦6♠ for the set to take down the pot and send his opponent out of the tournament.
