Pay Jump Comfusion in the Monster
On a $1,000 pay jump, Mauricio Madrigal Rivas opened to 535,000 from the small blind, leaving just a single 5,000 chip behind. Triet Nguyen, covering, moved all in from the big blind, sending Madrigal Rivas into the tank, waiting for a player to bust. A player at the table told him it would only take "five seconds," which he interpreted to mean the time left for him to make a decision. He put in the final chip, then took it back, then clock was called and he put it in again, as the two players finally arrived at showdown.
Mauricio Madrigal Rivas: K♦Q♥
Triet Nguyen: 6♠6♦
It was a flip, and Nguyen continued to pick up outs on the runout, as the J♥A♦7♥ flop gave him a gutshot, and the 5♥ turn meaning any heart would do the trick, too. It was a case of too many outs, with the 2♦ river sealing his fate, as he ended up missing out on the pay increase anyway.
