Depleted Time Bank Might Save Sasaki's Tournament
Level 20
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Yoko Sasaki raised to 200,000 from the cutoff, Danilo Velasevic three-bet to 700,000 from the small blind, and Sasaki called.
Velasevic continued for 325,000 on the 10♥6♣3♦ flop, and Sasaki called to the 4♣ turn. Velasevic slowed down with a check, and Sasaki thought for a few seconds.
She assembled a bet of 500,000 and slid it into the middle. However, her regular shot clock had just run out, and she had no time left in her time bank. She was informed that she was forced to check behind, and the 2♦ river was subsequently dealt.
Velasevic checked again, and Sasaki bet 500,000 on time. Velasevic sighed, then called. He received good news, as Sasaki instantly mucked, so Velasevic won the pot without having to show.
