Battle of the Christoph(e)s

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Christophe Sanchez opened to 13,000 from the cutoff before Christoph Kapitza jammed for 107,000 from the button. Sanchez then spent several minutes in the tank and apoligised for it.

Just before the hand got underway, Nacho Barbero was speaking to Rehman Kassam.

Barbero told his tablemate, "I don't know how you're still in the tournament." Kassam then claimed he'd been "rogered" all day but still found himself with a more than 40 big blind stack.

As Sanchez continued to mull over his option, Barbero then started a round of applause while watching an NFL game on his phone. Whether it was because he won a bet or his team scored, PokerNews wasn't too sure.

Enough time passed, and the clock was called. As the timer began, Sanchez called.

Christoph Kapitza: KJ
Christophe Sanchez: 1010

The table inferred that Sanchez's hand was a snap-call and didn't seem too fond of how much time they had missed out on.

Kapitza paired up on the KQ8Q3 runout to secure the double up.
