Spill From Salter Doesn't Affect Addamo

Level 2 : 200/400, 400 ante

The flop showed {8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} and Michael Addamo and Julien Martini both checked to Chin Wei Lim on the button who bet 4,000. Jack Salter then arrived to the table and spilt his coffee over half the table but missed the cards. Addamo wasn't fazed as he called and Martini followed shortly after as the tournament staff worked quickly to clean up the mess.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and Addamo checked. Martini bet 5,500 which was enough to see Lim muck his hand. With the action back on Addamo, he thought for 30-seconds, and used a time extension before announcing all in for 23,200 a minute later. Martini deliberated for a moment before opting to muck his hand.

Toma Bests Foxen

Level 2 : 200/400, 400 ante

Tsugunari Toma bet out 4,400 from the big blind after the turn dropped on the {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} board. Alex Foxen obliged before both players watched the {5-Clubs} complete the board.

Toma immediately reached for his chips and tossed out 12,000. Foxen appeared to agonise over his decision, taking one last look at his cards, before making the call.

Toma then confidently tabled his {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for two pair and took down the pot after Foxen mucked his hand.
