Gavrila Punished for Tardiness, Savino Takes Advantage
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Iago Savino opened to 40,000 from early position, and Alberto Speranzoni three-bet to 110,000 from the cutoff.
Viorel Gavrila was on the button, without any time banks remaining, and around two seconds after the timer beeped and ran out, Gavrila attempted to move all in.
The tournament director was called, and it was ruled that Gavrila's hand was dead as a result of failure to act within his allotted time, which could not be extended without any time banks. Gavrila took it stoically enough and folded.
Action back to Savino, who promptly four-bet jammed on Speranzoni, whose hand instantly hit the muck.
"I would have called or rejammed anyway if he was allowed to go all-in," said Savino to Speranzoni.
