Picone Takes It On the Turn

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Igor Picone and Klas Lofberg were clashing in a big heads up pot. There were 17,500 chips in the pot on a flop of {6-Hearts}{q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, and Picone bet 3,500 extra after a check from Lofberg. Lofberg called and a turn was added to the board.

On the {4-Spades} Lofberg checked to Picone again, who now bet out 11,500 after using a time bank extension. Evidently, this was too much for Lofberg who threw his hand into the muck.

Big Blind on Blind Battle Goes Way of Vieira

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

Joao Vieira has joined the fray and immediately got caught up in a big pot during a blind versus blind situation against Justin Saliba. There was already a whopping 14,800 in the middle on a flop of {9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} when Vieira put out a bet of 13,000. Saliba thought for a while, then called.

On the {3-Hearts} turn Vieira used a time bank extension before ultimately deciding to check. His opponent did the exact same actions, and the two saw the river {7-Clubs}. Now Vieira chose to aggress again, and bet 14,000. After a little while, Saliba let his hand go, and Vieira shipped a sizable pot.

After the hand, the two players and the dealer had a discussion on exactly how many time bank extensions were used by each player during the hand. Some decisions took longer than the shot clock allowed, but not every time an extension was given to the dealer, leading to some confusion. In the end, they figured it out and the table went on to the next hand.
