Almost Hand for Hand

While table one plays significantly faster, some hands over on table two take by far longer. Tournament staff has been monitoring the situation closely, and from time to time tell the dealer on table one to freeze the action and wait until the hand on the other table is over.

One such hand saw Ole Schemion open to 12,000 and Patrick Leonard call in the big blind. On the flop, both checked. The appeared on the turn, Leonard checked and folded to the 14,500 bet of Schemion. The German raked in the pot and then walked over to see what was going on at the other table.
