"I Deserve That"

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Paul Berende
Paul Berende

Action folded to Paul Berende in the cutoff and he raised to 80,000. Nabil Mohamed Abdien Cardoso mistakenly thought Berende was all in (he actually had 26,000 back), moved all in from the small blind, and tabled the {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts} after the big blind folded.

Action was on Berende, and he had the option of either folding or calling off knowing his opponent's cards. Berende hit the tank, and Mike "Timex" McDonald knew what was up. You see, there was a pay jump between 40th and 39th places, from €11,840 to €13,730. As such, McDonald called the clock to disrupt Berende's stalling.

Berende smiled, and with 10 seconds remaining on the countdown called off with the {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}.

It was a flip, but not after the flop fell {10-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} to give Cardoso Broadway.

"I deserve that," Berende said with a smile. The {8-Diamonds} turn left him drawing dead, and he took his leave from the tournament in 40th place after the {Q-Diamonds} was run out on the river.

Meanwhile, Ezequiel Kleinman was eliminated at the feature table at the hands of Sam Greenwood.
