Hinde's Hand Goes Dead

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Scott Burns
Scott Burns

Michael Hinde raised to 24,000 on the button and Scott Burns three-bet to 65,000 in the small blind. Hinde called and the flop came {6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. Burns continuation-bet 80,000, sending Hinde into the tank for over two minutes before finding a call to bring the turn {2-Spades} on board.

"I'm all in," announced Burns. Hinde went Full Sherman, going into the tank for more than two minutes once more. He asked Burns how much he had and Burns told him 333,000. Eventually, a clock was called.

The floor came over and let Hinde know he would have 30 seconds to complete his action or his hand would be rendered dead. Those 30 seconds passed with no action happening and Burns was declared the winner of the pot. Hinde took his protector off of his cards and used it to flick them forward to the center of the table, with the pot being sent to Burns afterward.

"I wanted to call you so bad," said Hinde.

Justin Liberto

Justin Liberto opened to 24,000 in the cutoff and was called by Rocco Palumbo in the small blind and Steve Wilkie in the big blind. The three went to a flop of {10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} and action checked to Liberto, who continuation-bet 42,000. Palumbo check-raised to 100,000 and Wilkie folded, with Liberto making the call thereafter.

"How much do you have behind?" asked Palumbo as the turn {3-Diamonds} came. Liberto showed him a little over 400,000 and Palumbo put out 225,000. Liberto jammed for 404,000 and Palumbo quickly called.

Justin Liberto: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}

Liberto's set was ahead of Palumbo's top two pair and flush draw, needing to hold to secure the double, and he did just that as the river {9-Clubs} completed the runout.
