Stalllllllllll Out
Tomer Berda raised to 12,500 in the cutoff, and Vesa-Petri Juutilainen put him all in. Into the tank, Berda went. Every minute counts as the bubble approaches, and Berda carefully considered what to do with each one of his ten remaining big blinds. He started with sunglasses and headphones on, and by 10 minutes in, both had come off and his face had turned red. By 15 minutes in, the floor had come over to stand by the dealer, ready to act the instant someone called clock. A player who had gone to the bathroom and gotten a bottle of water finally returned to his seat and did the honors, asking for the clock. Berda took most of his minute before folding. Two players from other tables hit the rail during the hand, meaning we're now four from the money.
