Nex Puts Valerio in the Tank
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Picking up the action on the turn, there was around 500,000 in the middle with the board reading A♦10♠8♣3♠. Vladimir Nex checked from under the gun and Jose Valerio slid out a bet of 155,000 in middle position. Nex called and the K♥ landed on the river.
Nex announced all in and Valerio was put to the test for his remaining 360,000 chips. After spending nearly three minutes in the tank, the clock was eventually called and Valerio literally ran out of time as his hand was declared dead. The pot was shipped to Nix and neither player showed any cards despite some probing from the table.
