It's About That Time

After limping in from late position, 2009 WPT Festa al Lago champ Tommy Vedes found himself facing a 5k raise from the player in the Big Blind.

He sat thinking for a moment before checking his watch.

"Time to go Tommy," said the Big Blind, prompting Vedes to ship his last 10k in the middle. The Big Blind called, turning over {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} and Vedes would need to get lucky, holding {q-Spades}{j-Spades}.

The {j-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop was just what the doctor ordered and after the {4-Diamonds} turn and {5-Clubs} river, Vedes was suddenly back where he started, sitting just above 20k. Apparently it wasn't time to go just yet.
