Sorainen Shoves River and Sends Docherty Into Tank

David Docherty open-raised to 20,000 from under the gun, Luka Sorainen called in middle position, and the big blind called.

The flop came 2♦9♠J♦ and action checked to Sorainen, who made it 25,000 to go. The big blind called before Docherty check-raised to 125,000. Only Sorainen made the call. Both remaining players then checked it back on the A♥ turn.

The river was the A♦ and Docherty used a time bank card before placing out a bet of 210,000. Sorainen then moved all in.

"Jesus!", said Docherty, who had around 130,000 left behind and was now in a tough spot. He used all of his time bank cards and was down to his last ten seconds before reluctantly mucking his hand.

"That's why I don't like time banks," said Docherty. "If I'd have taken seven minutes no one would have called time."

The table agreed, but ultimately Sorainen had won the pot and dragged in several hundred thousand chips to add to his stack, which was up to around 1.2 million.
