Tank for the Pay Jump
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Hugo Machado had already contributed 175,000 to the pot when Virgile Turchi shoved all in from under the gun. With only 40,000 remaining, Hugo entered a lengthy tank, prompting a call for time and the floor man's intervention.
At that juncture, with only 40 players remaining and a pay jump on the line, the floor man initiated a countdown for Machado's last 30 seconds. Machado waited until the final moment to push the rest of his stack in.
Hugo Machado: A♠6♦
Virgile Turchi: K♦8♠
While the 2♦3♥7♠ flop seemed promising for Machado, the turn revealed the K♣, and there was no assistance from the 5♦ river.
Regrettably, Machado's prolonged decision-making didn't alter his fate as he exited in 40th place.
