Clock Called Twice on One River

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Arriving on a completed board of JK8210 with a pot of 50,000 in the middle, Mikhail Katykhin checked from the hijack to Viktor Ustimov on the button.

Ustimov tanked for several minutes until time was called on him. During his countdown, he put Katykhin all in for 35,000.

Katykhin spent some time in the tank himself. Eventually, the clock was called for a second time. Katykhin folded before his time ran out, seeing the pot shipped to Ustimov.

Kuzmanovic Hits Set on Unsettled Seaton

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was picked up on the 10264 turn. A pot of 30,000 was in the middle, in which Boris Kuzmanovic checked from middle position. Archibald Seaton then bet 15,000 in the hijack, which Kuzmanovic called.

Kuzmanovic checked again on the 8 river before being put all in for 38,700 by Seaton. Kuzmanovic snap called.

Seaton turned over KK for an overpair, but it was no good against the 44 of Seaton, who turned a set. Seaton looked disgruntled as he paid off his opponent and was left with a stack of 20 big blinds.

Wilson Shows the Bluff

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Around 50,000 was in the middle already on a completed board of A988K, in a hand between Chase Wilson and Michael Allen.

Wilson fired out a bet of 25,000, and Allen went into the tank. After intimating he had top two pair, and wondering if his opponent had "chosen violence" this late in the day, Allen reluctantly disposed of his hand.

Wilson tabled 76 for seven-high, and Allen tapped the table, saying, "Ahh you did choose violence!"

There must have been some prior history between the players, as when a tablemate said, "Nice bluff," Wilson responded "Well I had to get him back for earlier didn't I?" to which Allen laughed, responding, "That's what I was thinking! Nice bluff."

Retiere's Queens Hold Against Labat's Jacks

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Antoine Labat opened the action with a raise to 3,200, and Romain Retiere responded with a three-bet to 7,000 from middle position, which Labat decided to call.

Both players opted to check on the 4K7 flop.

The action picked up on the 4 turn when Retiere fired a bet of 8,000, and Labat, after some thought, check-called.

When the 3 river landed, Labat shifted gears, leading out with a small bet of 4,500. Retiere quickly called, and they went to showdown. Labat revealed JxJx, but Retiere's QQ had the edge, giving him the pot.
