Tank for the Pay Jump

Sava Krink

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♦All in
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.

Razvan Scutaru opened to 110,000 from under the gun and called when Virgile Turchi three-bet 300,000 from the hijack.

Scutaru check-jammed for around 1,000,000 on the Q♦8♠7♦ flop after Turchi continued for 200,000. Turchi quickly called for the cards to go on their backs.

Razvan Scutaru: A♣Q♣All in
Virgile Turchi: A♦K♦

Scutaru had top pair but was then drawing dead as Turchi made a flush on the 2♦ turn before the 10♦ completed the board.

Domenico Tataranno went all in from early position with 503,000 left. Action folded to Kuljinder Sidhu, who was seated in the big blind and seemed to make a snap-call after briefly glancing at a card. After the hand, he explained that he had already seen one card and only needed to look at the other one.

Domenico Tataranno: Q♣Q♠All in
Kuljinder Sidhu: K♣K♠

The kings hit a set immediately on the 2♥K♦10♣ flop, and by the 8♠ turn, it was evident that Tataranno's fate was sealed. The river revealed 9♥, sending Tataranno to the rail.
