Studer Chips Up

[user22113]

Break out your 2009 WSOP Rule Books. It looks like we're heading for another application of Rule 96 (the "3am Rule"). Daniel Studer just took a sizable pot off of John Juanda and Thor Hansen. He completed the {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

on third street and was called by Hansen's {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

and Juanda's {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

.

Studer bet again on fourth, the {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

. Hansen called with the {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

and Juanda called with the {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

. Each player checked fifth street. On sixth street, Hansen had the betting lead and bet {3-Clubs}

{3-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{A-Hearts}

{8-Clubs}

. Juanda folded {2-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}

{8-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

{J-Diamonds}

before Studer raised {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{8-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

. That raise brought a fold from Hansen.

With that pot, there is no legitimite short stack. Given that a twenty-minute break is imminent, we look to be playing until 3am.
