Dahmani Sends Dato Deep Into the Tank

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Hassan Dahmani
Hassan Dahmani

Hassan Dahmani bet 6,500 from the small blind on a flop of J5Q and Andrea Dato called under the gun.

The turn was the 2 and Dahmani bet another 48,000. Dato again called and the A fell on the river, where Dahmani fired out 125,000.

Dato tanked for more than five minutes. "Feel free to call time," he told the table, and Dahmani eventually called the clock.

Dato allowed the countdown to reach zero and his hand was declared dead. Dahmani allowed him to choose one of his cards, and Dato picked the 7.

"Ace good?" Dahmani asked as he also showed the A.

"I was not expecting that," Dato replied.

"When I see you outside, you pay me one coffee," Dahmani added.
