Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

We have just had the first hand where players have used some of their time breaker chips.

It started with a Stephen Chidwick raise to 325 from the cutoff and Ben Tollerene three-bet to 1,050 from the button. Chidwick shot him a glance and took nearly his full allotted 30-seconds before making the call, checking the {q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop over to Tollerene.

Chidwick check-called an 800 Tollerene continuation bet and the turn came down {6-Hearts}. Chidwick checked again and Tollerene thought it over, burning the first of his four time breaker chips before eventually checking it back.

The {4-Clubs} river saw Chidwick lead out for 4,000 and Tollerene tanked again, burning a second time breaker chip before moving all in for 17,425.

With the action back on Chidwick, it was his turn to go into the tank and he burned the first of his time breaker chips before eventually electing to fold.

Tollerene has two time breaker chips left, Chidwick has three and Charlie Carrel and Sam Greenwood still have all four.
