Select Chip Counts

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Rast Tanks for Four Minutes

Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Brian Rast had bet 80,000 on the turn with the board reading J65A into Alexandre Reard. After a short time, Reard shoved all in for 310,000, and Rast had a lot of thinking to do.

After four minutes of thinking, Rast still hadn't made a decision and told his tablemates they could call the clock if they wanted. One of them immediately called for it and Rast was given a 30-second countdown, which saw him fold with just five seconds to go.

The flop fell 795 and Cierco check-called a bet of 20,000 from Refaelowitz.

The turn J saw Cierco check-call another bet from Refaelowitz for 65,000.

The river came 2 and Cierco checked for a third time. Refaelowitz bet a large 185,000 wager and Cierco went deep into the tank before calling.

Refaelowitz revealed K8 for just king-high before Cierco showed 94 for second pair and scooped a big pot.
