Clock Called on Keating as Cardia Puts in Big Shove

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A massive pile of chips was already in the middle as Puddu Cardia and Alex Keating went heads-up to the K8545 board. Cardia then moved all in for 105,000.

Keating tanked for about a minute before the clock was called. Keating argued he hadn't been given enough time and the floor was called over. It was ruled Keating should be given more time as he continued to consider the decision.

Another few minutes elapsed before another player again called the clock. Keating was given 30 seconds to act, and folded his hand before the time ran out.

Cardia then showed him KK as he took the pot. "Just for you," Cardia said.

"He doesn't normally show," a tablemate told Keating, who had only just arrived at the table.

"I had a king," Keating said, pointing at the king on the board.

"For you, nada," Cardia countered.

Christos Leantzis: AJ

Standing up and filming the action with his phone, Leantzis asked for a king after the flop 102Q. But the turn 3 and the river 2 didn't help him, so he was eliminated.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Aksel Aygun, Giorgiy Skhulukhiya, and Zaid Noori built a three-way pot of around 50,000 heading to the A108 flop where Skhulukhiya bet 15,000 from the button.

Aygun called in the hijack, while Noori got out of the way from the cutoff. The turn came the J and Aygun checked again. Skhulukhiya slowed down and checked back to the 8 river.

Both players again checked. "Straight," Aygun said, showing KQ. Skhulukhiya angrily flung his cards into the middle of the table as Aygun took the pot.
