Cinca Sends Bilem Into the Tank
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
The pot had already grown to around 60,000 with two players looking at a board of 8♣3♦9♣3♠.
Alexandru Cinca, in early position, checked the action to Mehdi Bilem, in the cutoff. Bilem bet out 15,000 and Cinca responded by check-raising to 43,000.
Bilem went deep into the tank, thinking for so long that the clock was eventually called. Bilem's thirty-second countdown hit zero and the dealer flicked his cards into the muck.
