Marino, Simon Play a Lengthy Pot; Talbot Calls the Clock Twice

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

[Removed:553] and Julio Marino were heads-up on a flop of 37Q when Simon led out for 1,000 from the big blind. Marino then raised to 2,500 under the gun.

As Simon began thinking over the decision, Parker Talbot across the table fidgeted with his chips until they were in a big pile in front of him. "Until I have 120,000 my chips always look like this," he told Konstantin Held sitting next to him.

The turn came the 10 and Simon checked over to Marino, who took his time before betting 2,600. Simon then tanked again.

"We're playing a turbo. The slowest f**king turbo ever, but a turbo nonetheless," Talbot said as he got up from his seat.

Simon eventually called. "Another street, woo," Talbot said sarcastically as the A fell. Simon checked again and action went on Marino.

"Time," Talbot yelled out as Marino took nearly a minute before acting. He eventually bet 8,000 before the floor even arrived.

"It's almost like as soon as you call time they realize they're being unreasonable," Talbot added.

Simon then began tanking once more. "Time," Talbot called out again. Simon ultimately decided to give up his hand.

"He takes a minute on every decision. This is our third hand of the level and we're 20 minutes in," Talbot complained.

"I definitely don't take a minute every decision. We've had some big pots," Simon replied, defending himself.

Straight For Deyra

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

After an open by a player in early position to 1,000, Ivan Deyra called on the button, and both players in the blinds called too.

The dealer fanned a flop of 568 where Daniel Montagnolli in the small blind took the lead and bet 1,100. The big blind Javier Fernandez Alonso then decided to raise all in for 6,000. The initial raiser folded, and after some time, Deyra shoved too to make Montagnolli fold.

Javier Fernandez Alonso: A8
Ivan Deyra: 43

With top pair against a straight flush draw, Fernandez Alonso was close to a double up. But the 7 on the turn completed Deyra's straight, and Fernandez Alonso was eliminated after the river J.

Nut Flush For Bigot

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

2023 EPT Paris finalist Fabrice Bigot under the gun opened to 1,000 but was raised to 2,800 by Hang Xu seated on his left.

Bigot called and checked on the flop A75. Xu checked back. The turn was the 2, and Bigot checked again, so Xu bet 3,200. But he saw Bigot check-raise to 6,500. Xu didn't wait much to call.

On the river 7, Bigot shoved, and Xu snap-called with his last 10,000 chips.

Hang Xu: AK
Fabrice Bigot: K10

Hang had top pair, but Bigot hit the nut flush directly on the flop, so Xu was eliminated just before the break.
