Level 12 (1500/2500/2500)
Total Entrants: 191
Day 1C Players Remaining: 46
The clock has been stopped with ten minutes left in Level 12 and the Tournament Director directed the dealers to play four more hands at each table, after which the remaining players will bag up and come back Saturday at 11 a.m. to play Day 2.
On the second of four hands to go, Table 21 had an unusual situation come up. Tim Garles shoves all-in for 15,000 in early position and Tommy Bui (pictured) calls from Garles's left. The action folds to Daniel Stone in the big blind who shoves all-in for around 80,000, and the action is back on Bui, who has around 60,000 chips behind.
Bui goes into the tank, counting down his stack, and thinking things over. After a full minute of thought, Bui announces a call and the hands are turned up.
Garles - A♣K♥
Stone - A♥K♣
Bui - A♦K♠
It's big slick all around for everyone. Barring any four-flush boards, this hand will end in a chop. The flop came out in rainbow suits, effectively ending the drama.
Tim Garles - 15,500
Daniel Stone - 82,500
Tommy Bui - 63,500
