Trujillo Rushes Back the Wrong Way
Level 41
: Blinds 1,500,000/3,000,000, 3,000,000 ante
Santiago Trujillo had misunderstood the tournament director and thought they would be having a short break at the start of the final, but that was not the case, as the tournament director had gone as far as saying, "This is NOT a break!".
As a result, Trujillo was seen sprinting back to the tournament area to arrive in time to play a couple of hands before his big blind.
Sang Sim opened the button to 6,000,000, and Trujillo defended his big blind.
Heads up, they saw a flop of K♦J♦5♦. Trujillo check-called a bet of 4,000,000.
Both players checked the turned Q♣.
When the 8♣ completed the board, Trujillo took the initiative and bet 8,000,000. Sim made a measured all-in in and Trujillo quickly launched his hand in the muck, surrendering the pot.
