Clock Nearly Running Out on Hamnett
Niveau 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Around 150,000 was already in the middle as Benjamin Hamnett and Mustafa Ercan went to a flop of Q♠6♦8♠. Hamnett then bet 100,000 from the button and Ercan called under the gun.
The turn was the 3♦ and Ercan moved all in for 260,000. Several minutes went off the clock as Hamnett agonized over the decision. Nuri Hadioglu eventually called time and a tournament official arrived to put Hamnett on a 30-second countdown.
The timer had nearly reached zero when Hamnett put in the chips. Ercan showed A♣A♥ and Hamnett began pushing him the chips before turning over K♦K♣.
The Q♦ river sealed Ercan's double up in the massive pot as Hamnett handed over most of his stack. "I thought I was folding the entire time," Hamnett said.
