Lyubovetskiy Could Not Talk Himself Out of It
Level 8
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Andriy Lyubovetskiy and Philip Sternheimer arrived on the river in a pot worth 17,000 chips. Lyubovetskiy had bet 6,000 from early position on a board of 10♦4♥A♠3♣2♠ and Sternheimer put out a raise to 16,000.
Lyubovetskiy laid all seven of his time bank chips in front of him and the dealer was taking them one by one as his time slowly dwindled down. With just one time chip remaining, he put in the chips for a call.
He got shown the 5♦5♠ of Sternheimer, who could make a straight with either card. No wheel for Lyubovetskiy as he passed his cards to the dealer as well.
