Huge Double Up for Albadawi Through Geilich
A huge hand just went down that ended up going several minutes into the break. At the completion of the hand it was the winner, Monty Albadawi, who explained to us what happened.
A player raised to 1,400 after which Ludovic Geilich three-bet from his immediate left to 4,600. Monty Albadawi called from the big blind and the initial raiser folded.
The flop brought out 
and Albadawi checked to Geilich who bet 4,500 and Albadawi called.
The turn was the 
and both players checked. On the river the 
completed the board and Albadawi lead out for 9,800. Geilich raised it up to 38,900 and Albadawi responded by moving all in for 78,675.
Geilich went into the tank for well over seven minutes, while he constantly talked to himself.
"I didn't expect you to do that, you should have a big hand here but I have something too," Geilich said.
Another couple of minutes went by and Geilich added, "I've never been in the tank for this long."
In the end Albadawi called the clock on his opponent, and Geilich called in the dying seconds.
Albadawi showed 
for a full house and that was good against Geilich's 
. Albadawi is now the chip leader while Geilich was left with very little chips.
