button in SafariTalboom Keeps Single Chip Behind
Tom Talboom pushed nearly all in for 500,000 from the button, leaving a single 25,000 chip behind. Zdenek Zizka used a time bank before putting in the call from the big blind.
Both players checked it down on the K♣2♦7♥ flop and again on the A♠ turn.
Talboom was hoping to see another check, but Zizka shoved on the Q♥ river. Talboom threw all of his time bank cards into the middle, trying to let other players bust. His time ran out and he folded with just 25,000 behind.
On another table, a player open-shoved a short stack and was called by Damir Gabdullin. The all-in player had A♣5♠, while Gabdullin had him dominated with A♠K♦.
The board ran out 2♠8♠3♣9♣J♣ and Gabdullin held with ace-king high to win the pot, sending his opponent to the exit in 42nd place. With that, the tournament reached the stone bubble.
