Badziakouski used his 30 seconds before he tossed in a time bank card to gain another 30 seconds. He spun in his chair, and tossed in another time bank card when the clock reached zero.
"At one point you're committed," Badziakouski said referencing the amount of time bank cards he used in the hand.
He was clearly in agony, producing loud grunting noises while wildly spinning in his chair.

With the on the turn, Bonomo checked again. Sontheimer shoved for 65,500 and Kanit called, leaving himself with about 75,000. Justin Bonomo asked to see how much Kanit was playing behind and moved in over the top after getting visual confirmation it was just 75,000 or so. Kanit reluctantly mucked.
