Murthy Leads the River as Clock Called on Rashidi
Level 14
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Heads-up on a flop of Q♦Q♥8♣, Manesh Rashidi bet 21,000 from the cutoff and Neel Murthy called in the big blind.
Rashidi bet another 12,000 on the 8♦ turn and Murthy again called. The river was the Q♣ and Murthy this time led out for 47,000.
Rashidi tanked for several minutes until the clock was called. The countdown had nearly reached zero when he folded as Murthy took the pot.
"I think I folded a queen," tablemate Panagiotis Mavritsakis said.
"I had a queen, too," Nick Palma added.
