River Shove Sends Vandewalle Back into the Lead
Level 16
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The action was picked up on a board of A♥5♣K♠4♠ with 80,000 in the pot and Daan Vandewalle betting 60,000 from middle position. Toby Roots to his left made the call.
The 9♦ landed on the river, and Vandewalle moved all in for 242,000. "Sorry guys," Roots apologized as he went deep into the tank for several minutes. Roy, who was among those watching the hand, captured the tension around the table.
Vandewalle eventually called the clock, and Roots decided to fold with just a few seconds remaining on the countdown.
