Seated in the Cut-off, Giuliano Bendinelli opened to 60,000. Carl Cullen made the call from the Big Blind.
Cullen checked in the dark before the dealer revealed the flop, then called a 40,000 bet from Bendinelli. Both players checked the turn before Cullen moved all in for 270,000 on the river. This sent Bendinelli into the tank. One of the other players aat the table called the clock upon Bendinelli, but when the floor came over and asked the dealer if it was enough time, the dealer replied, “No”. Two minutes later, though, it was deemed long enough, and Bendinelli received a 30-second countdown. With five seconds left on the clock, he made the call.
Carl Cullen:
Giuliano Bendinelli:
Hero call gone wrong from Bendinelli, and local player Cullen received the full double-up.
Carl Cullen: 815,000
Giuliano Bendinelli: 735,000
