Dmitry Levi raised to 4,000 from early position, before Michael Daddario three-bet to 13,000 on the button. Then Kevin Roche four-bet to 32,000 from the small, and the player in the big blind sat in the tank. After about two minutes, another player at the table called the clock, which made the big blind irate. After arguing with the floor, the entirety of the clock countdown that he wasn't given enough time to make a decision, with one second left he five-bet all in for 75,000. Levi and Daddario both folded, and Roche quickly made the call to put the big blind at risk.
Big Blind: A♠K♠
Kevin Roche: Q♠Q♦
As soon as the cards were flipped over, Daddario told the tabled he folded pocket kings, worried someone had aces with all the pre-flop action. That was a break for the big blind, but he would still need to improve against the pocket queens of Roche. Once the board ran out 9♦6♦6♣9♥3♣ the pocket queens remained best, and the big blind was eliminated.
