Table Talk and a Clock
Kate Hoang limped in early position and Josh Arieh called. Ryan Miller bet the pot and Hoang and Arieh both called.
The flop brought two queens, 
, and Hoang bet 15,000. Arieh was the lone caller.
The turn was the 
and Hoang checked. Arieh bet 50,000 and Hoang went into the tank. She took a long time and eventually the clock was requested.
Aaron Katz was anxious to get his remaining stack into the mix and double up before the final minutes of Day 1 ticked off. Hoang eventually folded once the floor person started counting down from ten.
John Monnette was trying to get Arieh to show his hand, but all Arieh would reveal was two tens, 
. Miller was sort of paying attention when Hoang was talking about the contents of her hand and thought she folded what would have been the nuts.
"You folded queen seven?" he asked.
The table pointed out to him that queen seven would have been the nuts. At this, Arieh joked they should play 11 levels today.
"I will play this down to a winner today," Monnette said.
The next hand, Katz got his chance to double and did so through Ryan Miller. Katz had kings with an ace and ended up scooping the pot for a double thanks to the king kicker.
"I gave him all those chips," Katz said repeatedly of Miller's remaining stack.
