Arturo Paduano opened to 4,000 from under the gun and Ankit Ahuja peeled from the small blind.
They saw a flop of A?2?A? where Ahuja check-called a bet of 2,500.
Ahuja went into check-call mode again on the Q? turn after Paduano fired 6,000.
When the 7? dropped on the river, Ahuja checked for a third time and Paduano fired 12,000. Ahuja thought about it for a while then stuck in a raise to 60,000, which seemed to confuse Paduano as he took his sunglasses off and analyzed the board. After what seemed like a minute, Alexandru Farcasanu called the clock on Paduano.
"You take ten minutes every hand," said Farcasanu. Paduano wasn't happy and argued that it was a big pot and he hadn't had enough time to think, and that he shouldn't be put on a countdown. The floor came over but before they could initiate the count, Paduano called.
Ahuja showed K?2? for a backdoored flush, and Paduano frustratingly flipped over A?10? for trip aces.
Hugues Girard and Andrei Birgaoanu just got all-in preflop with Girard being the player at risk.
Hugues Girard: A?A?
Andrei Birgaoanu: K?K?
A cooler in favor of Girard, and when the 3?A?4? flop fell, Girard could only lose to running cards. The 8? turn left Birgaoanu drawing dead as an inconsequential 6? came on the river.
