We have lost the Day 1b chip leader. [Removed:17], also known online as "MissOracle," has been eliminated in the last hand before the break. Preflop, he raised to 10,000 and Andreas Goeller defended his big blind.
On the flop, Goeller checked and Yan bet 12,000. Goeller check-raised to 40,000 and Yan reluctantly called. After the turn, Goeller asked his opponent how much he had left behind before moving all in. Yan still had 127,000 and was left with a difficult decision.
"You liked the turn?" he asked. It took several minutes and no decision was in sight. The clock was called and 20 seconds before the end of the one minute, Yan put a pile of blue chips in the middle and called.
Yan:
Goeller:
The river completed the board and "MissOracle" could not improve.
