Level 13: 1,200/2,500 (2,500)
A massive pot just took place at the end of Level 13 that took close to 15 minutes to play out.
It all began when Mike Alonso opened for 5,000 from the hijack. Nicolas Maillaud three-bet to 15,000 from the button and Alonso called.
Alonso check-raised the 10 K 9 flop from 12,000 to 30,000. Maillaud called and the 3 was dealt on the turn. Alonso asked Maillaud how big his stack was. Maillaud confirmed it was around 86,000 and a couple of minutes later Alonso jammed for about 130,000. Maillaud went into the tank for more than five minutes before Alonso called the floor.
The floor asked the dealer if Maillaud had enough time before he informed Maillaud he had 30 seconds to act. Maillaud appeared deep in thought and didn't flinch even as the clock was reaching five seconds. Just after the tournament director said "one," Maillaud said "call" and tossed in a single chip.
Nicolas Maillaud: A 10
Mike Alonso: 8 7
The 9 paired the board on the river to give Maillaud a massive pot while Alonso, who was cruising along saw his stack crumble.
Nicolas Maillaud - 260,000
Mike Alonso - 45,000
Field - 40/132
