We arrived at the table to find David "Doc" Sands (in the hijack) call the player in the big blind's three-bet.
The flop came down and both players checked to see the turn. A check from the player in the big blind was followed by a bet of 1,450 from Sands. His opponent called, landing the on the river. A third check from Sands' opponent led to Sands sliding about 15,000 into the pot, more than enough to cover his opponent.
After about 60 seconds in the tank, the player in the big blind called all in for 6,775.
"You win," said Sands. His opponent tabled , besting Sands' holdings to win the pot.
Over on Table 10 in the Gold Section a player called the clock on David "Doc" Sands after about 20 seconds. The floor supervisor arrived and asked the dealer if he's had a reasonable amount of time to make a decision.
The dealer replied no and the floorman refused to start a clock on Sands.
"He takes eight seconds to open a pot," the complainer said.
"Sir, we're not playing online poker," the floorman replied.
"So I can take 20 seconds to make every decision?" the complainer asked.
"Let's draw a line somewhere between common sense and courtesy," Michael "Carwash" Schneider said.
The floor instructed the table to play cards because there was a hand in progress.
The result of the hand was Chad Wiedenhoeft fout-bet all in and Sands called. Sands held and Wiedenhoeft held pocket eights. Sands didn't connect with the board and was eliminated.
PokerStars Team Pro and reigning WSOP Main Event Champion Pius Heinz is crushing this event. We haven't been able to catch him in any substantial hands but he is among the leaders.
We caught up with WSOPC standout Huy Nguyen on the button in a three-way pot. The board showed and Nguyen bet 1,025 after action was checked to him. One player folded but another called.
The turn came and both players checked. The river came , the unknown player bet 2,000 and Nguyen quickly raised to 5,200. His opponent thought for a minute and then tossed his cards away.
