Palvini Puts Roth To a Tough Decision
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
In a heads-up pot with 135,000 in the middle on a flop showing J?9?8?, Matthias Roth checked from the big blind to Jeremy Palvini in the cutoff who bet out 35,000. Roth elected on a check-raise to 125,000 and Palvini made the call.
On the 10? turn both players checked their options to the 3? river. Roth checked again and Palvini sized to 170,000. Roth went deep in the tank, thinking for several minutes, until the clock was called and he had 30 seconds to act.
The tournament director counted down until the clock hit zero and declared Roth's hand dead, awarding the pot to Palvini.
