Doddapaneni Takes So Long to Call with Trips

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action was picked up with Sriharsha Doddapaneni on the button firing 1,000,000 into a pot of around 1,800,000 beside a completed board of QJA2Q.

Vincenzo Abate in the big blind, check-raised him all-in for around 1,600,000 sending Doddapaneni into a long tank, which took longer than it should.

When the dealer called the floor for clock, Doddapaneni started protesting saying that it's a big hand, which prompted players on the table to take sides, some supporting the button's defense and others stating he's taken 4 minutes to think whether to add 600,000 or not.

The floor finally arrived and decided to give him one minute more before the 30 seconds countdown. Halfway through the countdown he made a one chip call.

Abate showed K8 for king-high while Doddapaneni showed Q10. Abate got on his feet ready to leave, visibly disgusted and said, "What were you taking so long for. You had trips," then left the table.

John Tone: 73 All in
Scott Kuehne: QQ All in
Samuel Hawley: AA

Although the board brought a three for Tone, the pair of aces won with the board of 53J89 for Hawley.
