Connor Drinan Ships it Twice

Simon Lam raised to 135,000 from middle position before the decision fell on Connor Drinan on the button. He thought for a minute before announcing all in for just under 1.5 million in chips. That was enough to take down the pot as the blinds, as well as Lam, mucked their hands.

In the following hand, Rainer Kempe raised to 135,000 from the hijack, and once again the action was on Drinan. He went into the tank for over a minute, prompting Kempe to call the clock.

The tournament director came over and gave Drinan 30 seconds to act on his hand. Shortly after, Drinan moved all in for 1.78 million. With the decision back on Kempe, he asked for a count, before releasing his hand and relinquishing the pot.
