We arrived on the scene, the flop was flop showing and Max Altergott had a bet of 7,000 out in front of him from the cutoff seat. The action was on Fabian Quoss in the big blind, and he made the call.
The turn brought out the , and Quoss checked to Altergott, who bet 24,000. Every player has 60 seconds to act per decision with the "shot clock" rule in this event, and Quoss called with about 10 seconds left.
On the river, the completed the board and Quoss checked right away. This time Altergott took his time, but eventually bet 54,000.
Immediately, Quoss grabbed the chips needed to make the call. He tossed them forward, and Altergott quickly tabled the . Quoss nodded before mucking his cards, and Altergott was pushed the pot.
Andrew Robl raised from early position to 7,000, and David "Doc" Sands defended his big blind with a call. The flop came down , and Sands check-called 12,000. On the turn, the hit and both players checked.
The river was the , and Sands bet 28,000. Robl took some time to think, but eventually folded.
The board showed when we arrived at the table, and the action was on Dan Smith. Smith had 16,000 out in front of him from the under-the-gun plus one position, and so did Scott Seiver who was in the cutoff.
Bill Klein had check-raised to 65,000 from the big blind and both of his opponents gave up.
We picked up the action when the board read with about 65,000 chips already in the middle. From the cutoff it was Ben Sulsky who bet 16,000 and from his direct left Tobias Reinkemeier raised it up to 65,000.
The action was now back on Sulsky who tanked for quite some time before raising it up to 226,000.
This put Reinkemeier deep into the tank before he ultimately folded as his minute ran out. The German pro did not use any of his time bank chips, but he did lose a sizeable pot to Sulsky.
Phil Ivey raised from the cutoff, Bill Klein called from the small blind and Isaac Haxton called from the big blind.
They checked to the turn of a board where Klein bet 6,000. Haxton called, Ivey folded and the river completed the board. Klein bet 27,000 and after a few moments Haxton raised to 72,000. Klein mulled it over before he called.
Haxton tabled for aces and queens, but Klein turned over for trip aces to win the pot.
After Brian Rast just dragged in a pot versus Sam Trickett, Antonio Esfandiari was quick to make a comment.
As Trickett sighed, Esfandiari said, "Rast is one of those guys who usually gets there," before directing himself at Dan Colman, "And Colman is also one of those guys who usually gets there."
Colman and Rast smiled, as Esfandiari looked over at Andrew Lichtenberger on his direct left.
"Chewy, are you one of those guys how usually gets there?"
Lichtenberger, who's known as Chewy, replied calmly, "If the universe wants me to get there, I'll get there," and the player started laughing.
The atmosphere at the tables is great so far, as the blinds are still very low compared to the hefty starting stacks.
From early position, Isaac Haxton raised to 7,000. Scott Seiver provided the only action with a call from the button, and the dealer dealt the flop. Haxton checked, and Seiver bet 8,500. Haxton called, and the turn was the . Again, Haxton checked. Seiver bet 26,000, and Haxton called.
The final card to the board was the , and Haxton checked a third time. Seiver opted for a wager of 67,000, and Haxton called.
Seiver turned up the for top pair, top kicker, and Haxton mucked.
From under the gun, Dan Smith raised to 5,500. Phil Ivey called in the cutoff seat, Connor Drinan called from the button, and Isaac Haxton called from the big blind.
All four players were prompted with the flop, and Haxton checked. Smith bet 10,000, Ivey called, and then Drinan raised it up to 30,000. Haxton folded before Smith and Ivey followed suit, and Drinan won the pot.
Tom MacDonald raised from the button, Phil Galfond three-bet out of the big blind and MacDonald called.
The flop fell and Galfond checked to MacDonald who bet 25,000. Galfond called, the turn fell and Galfond checked to MacDonald again who bet 70,000. Galfond called after a few moments to see the river and checked. MacDonald fired 160,000, sending Galfond into the tank for about 90 seconds before he folded.
Since Galfond took more than one minute to act, he had to surrender one of his timebank cards.
