Laudicina Faced With a Tough Decision
Level 15
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Dumitru Adrian Pora opened the action to 6,000 from early position and it folded to Christian Beuthe in the small blind who made the call. Alexandra Laudicina was next to act and elected on a three-bet to 18,500 from the big blind.
Pora quickly jammed his stack of 67,500 total in the middle. Beuthe took a minute before deciding to fold and Laudicina went deep in the tank. After several minutes went by the clock was called by another player at the table and Laudicina had 60-seconds to act.
"I have a pocket pair you know, is that any good?", asked Laudicina hoping to get a read off her opponent. At the end of the countdown, Laudicina elected to fold 
face up and Pora was friendly enough to show 
as he scooped in the pot.
