McConachie Falls at the End; Zarco Makes a Big Laydown to

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
David McConachie
David McConachie

Heads-up on a flop of 9K8, David McConachie put in his last 40,000 from the small blind and Mitchell Johnson called under the gun.

David McConachie: 76 All in
Mitchell Johnson: AK

Johnson showed top pair, while McConachie was looking to complete a straight draw. The 2 was no help, while the J river sent McConachie to the rail in the closing moments of the day.

At the same time at another table, a massive pot was brewing between Javier Zarco and Noam De Frettes. Zarco had bet 25,500 from the hijack on a board of 7QK2A, and De Frettes moved all in for 175,000 under the gun.

Zarco took a few minutes until another player at the table called the clock. "It's a 400K pot. Can I think? Do you want to see my hand?" Zarco protested, but a tournament official still began his 30-second countdown.

Zarco eventually threw KK into the muck. "Now is the perfect time to shove it in my face and say it was a bad fold," Zarco said to De Frettes, who showed only the A as he took in the pot.
