Troung Gets Time Called Before Doubling Up
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Luca Moschitta raised from under the gun and picked up a call before Nhat Truong moved almost all in for 300,000, leaving a single 5,000 chip behind. Moschitta made a shove to isolate, leaving just him and the at-risk Troung in the pot.
Troung didn't instantly call, instead stalling for a few seconds. Players instantly called clock on him and a debate ensued, some players suggesting he should be allowed to take more time and others pointing out that with only 5,000 behind there is no decision to make.
In any case, Troung threw his last chip in the middle and players flipped their cards.
Nhat Truong: K?K?
Luca Moschitta: 9?9?
The board ran out J?K?3?10?4?. Troung improved to a set of kings on the flop and held to double up his stack.
