Big River Bets

Sebastian Trisch led out for what looked like 121,000 on a board of . Jose Maria Galindo Lopez went deep into the tank, and then pushed forward a stack of blue T5,000 chips, signifying a call.

Trisch turned over for effectively nine-high, and Lopez showed for tens and eights.

"I had ace-high hearts," Pratyush Buddiga, who presumably folded on the turn, informed him.

Over on an adjacent table, Anaras Alekberovas and Theodoros Aidonopoulos were heads up on a board of . Alekberovas fired out 175,000 into a pot of around 250,000, and Aidonopoulos went deep into the tank.

"Time," Alekberovas said after more than two minutes passed.

The dealer didn't hear him.

"Time," he repeated.

Still nothing.

"Dealer," Alekberovas said sternly, prompting the dealer to jump a bit. "Time."

The dealer beckoned over a floor person, who gave Aidonopoulos 70 seconds to act upon his hand. If Aidonopoulos didn't make a decision during the first 60 seconds of the clock, the floor person would count down from 10 for the remainder of the period.

During this time, Aidonopoulos turned his attention to Alekberovas. When Alekberovas felt his eyes on him, he started to stare back. When Alekberovas was bored, he turned his attention back to the felt.

With one second on the clock, Aidonopoulos folded. Alekberovas raked in the pot, and now has 1.4 million chips.
