Siboni and Benson Play a Big Pot, Not the Clock
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
While "floor, time!" and consequent countdowns can be heard frequently throughout the room due to a lack of hand-for-hand play so far, Eli Siboni and Gary Benson were two of the few players who were playing postflop.
The board read 3?10?J?5? and Siboni fired 105,000 chips into a pot of roughly the same size. Benson made the call, creating a pot of more than 300,000 chips.
The river 10? then paired the board and caused the action to go check-check. Siboni showed A?8? for the flush and it was good enough to rake in the sizable pot.
