Pudel Saved by Chopped Pot
Level 20
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Action was on the flop on a board J?10?9?. Nils Pudel checked and Reza Tabatabaei shoved.
Pudel went into the tank for a long time and floor was called for time. With ten seconds remaining, he made the call for around 150,000 and was the player at risk as players revealed their cards.
Pudel showed Q?10? for a pair and straight draw. Tabatabaei had Q?Q? for pocket queens with the same straight draw.
The turn came the 4? and the river brought the 8? to complete the straight for both players, meaning Pudel was saved by the chop.
