Maimone Eliminates Kaverman

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 2,400 ante

The action folded around to Nick Maimone on the button, and he raised before Byron Kaverman moved all in from the small blind for 59,000. When the action was back on Maimone, he went into the tank and needed several minutes to think before the clock was called on him by Sam Greenwood.

When the tournament director arrived at the table and informed Maimone, he had 25 seconds left to act he instantly made the call.

Nick Maimone: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Byron Kaverman: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}

Board: {9-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Maimone made the correct call, and his queen kicker held to eliminate Kaverman shortly before the first break of Day 2.
