Big Blind on Blind Battle Goes Way of Vieira
Joao Vieira has joined the fray and immediately got caught up in a big pot during a blind versus blind situation against Justin Saliba. There was already a whopping 14,800 in the middle on a flop of 
when Vieira put out a bet of 13,000. Saliba thought for a while, then called.
On the 
turn Vieira used a time bank extension before ultimately deciding to check. His opponent did the exact same actions, and the two saw the river 
. Now Vieira chose to aggress again, and bet 14,000. After a little while, Saliba let his hand go, and Vieira shipped a sizable pot.
After the hand, the two players and the dealer had a discussion on exactly how many time bank extensions were used by each player during the hand. Some decisions took longer than the shot clock allowed, but not every time an extension was given to the dealer, leading to some confusion. In the end, they figured it out and the table went on to the next hand.
