Liu Wins the Pot but Accepts a Penalty
Action picked up to the completed board of A♣J♠5♣Q♦A♠ in a pot between Richard Sheils from the small blind and Tian Liu from the big blind with around 75,000 in the middle.
Liu had a bet of 50,000 in front of him before Sheils raised to 130,000, sending Liu deep into the tank.
Over three minutes would pass as Liu eventually revealed the A♥ from his hand and set it on the table face-up. The clock was eventually called as the floor informed Liu to protect his hand, and he eventually called with ten seconds left.
Richard Sheils: 2♥2♣
Tian Liu: A♥2♦
Liu made the right call with trip aces against the bluff of Sheils. The floor then told Liu that he would be on a one-round penalty for exposing his hand, which he graciously accepted as he collected a substantial pot.
