Betbese Stalls with Third Nuts
Action was picked up on a flop of 9♥A♣3♣ with both Roberto Betbese and Alexander Voros both committing chips into the pot, making it worth around 800,000 when the turn 2♣ was dealt.
Betbese, with just 50,000 behind, went into the tank, as his opponent had 50,000 in his hand ready to call an all-in bet. The clock was promptly called on Betbese, who put his final chips into the middle with just a second to go. Voros snapped it off.
Roberto Betbese: Q♣10♣
Alexander Voros: A♠K♠
The table went into uproar as Betbese tabled the queen-high flush, in disbelief about his stall with such a strong hand. Voros, too, was clearly unhappy, as he was drawing dead with top pair, top kicker.
The river Q♠ changed nothing, as the floor let the table know that should the clock be called on Betbese again, he will have just five seconds to act.
