Time(x) for a Shove
Flop:
Gottrand bet 2,000, and McDonald called.
Turn:
Another 2,000 bet and another stone-faced call.
River:
This time, Gottrand bet 5,000. Timex carefully counted out the 20,225 remaining in front of him, then neatly slid the whole stack into the middle. Gottrand tried to concentrate on the big decision before him while the two players on either side of him chattered loudly about their favorite French night clubs. Eventually, Gottrand shrugged and gave it up, allowing McDonald to survive until after the break. He'll return from dinner to around 36,000.
