Shaw Sends Sadovskii Into the Tank

With around 18,000 already in the pot on a board of 9♦A♦5♠3♥, Artem Sadovskii bet 12,500 from the small blind and Carl Shaw called on the button.

The river came the 6♦ and Sadovskii slowed down and checked. Shaw then fired out a bet of 19,900, sending Sadovskii deep into the tank.

Sadovskii thought about the decision for nearly five minutes until another player at the table called the clock. The tournament official placed the timer on the table for Sadovskii to see, and he allowed it to reach three seconds before tossing in a call.

Shaw then showed K♦J♦ for a flush and Sadovskii mucked as the EPT Barcelona finalist dragged in the big pot.

Hossein Ensan, 2015 EPT Prague champion and 2019 world champion, recently joined the field, as did Ren Lin.
