Dealmeida Bombs River

Livello 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

On a heads-up river of 7♣3♣K♥K♦2♣, Daniel Dealmeida was first to act in the massive pot of over 143,000 and he chose to just shove the rest of his stack in the middle. The action was then on his opponent, Eric Hayes, who went deep into the tank.

After a good minute of debating about his tournament life, Hayes decided to let it go and tossed his cards into the muck.

"if I shove turn you fold?" Hayes inquired.

"Maybe, not sure," Dealmeida responded as he raked in the pot.

Jonathan Penner opened to 13,000 preflop and then the small blind three-bet to 44,000 after action folded around. Penner made the call and the two went heads-up to a flop of J♦J♥8♦

The small blind continued for 40,000 but then Penner snap-shoved all in, covering his opponent who went into the tank.

After a while, someone called the clock on him and the floor came over to issue a countdown, but soon after it started, he mucked his hand to award Penner the pot.
