Schwippert Pays Off Quads
Level 14
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
The pot stood at 35,000 with two players looking at a full board of 4♣10♣Q♠8♥Q♥.
Tran Tuan, in the big blind, checked the action to Jan-Eric Schwippert, in early position. Schwippert bet out 18,000, sending Tuan into the tank.
Tuan was in the tank for so long that the clock was called. Under the tournament floor's watchful eye, Tuan was given thirty seconds to act, prompting him to raise to 45,000. Schwippert made a quick call.
Tuan tabled Q♣Q♦ for quad queens, which consequently erupted the table into controversy as many players vocalised their opinion that Tuan was actively wasting their time.
