Roque Unable to Pay Jump
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Following an early position raise to 25,000 from Dinesh Singham, Callum Roque opted to three-bet to 75,000, leaving just a single 5,000 chip behind. Mickael Vassallo then shoved his button for 126,000, and Singham got out of the way. Four from a pay jump, Roque stalled with his decision. Three eliminations later, on a pay jump bubble, he was still in the tank when Singham called clock. He flicked in the chip with a few seconds remaining.
Callum Roque: A♥9♦
Mickael Vassallo: 10♥10♠
Roque did hit a pair, but it was the wrong one on the K♣6♦4♠7♥9♣ runout. Despite waiting for so long and making it through three eliminations, it was Roque himself whose bustout gave the remaining players a pay boost.
