Sinclair vs Pollak; River Helps Vuilleumier

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jack Sinclair raised to 80,000 from the cutoff and Benjamin Pollak three-bet all in for 445,000, leaving himself 10,000 behind.

"How many time bank cards do you have?" Sinclair asked, with the table laughing. "If I use five time banks, how much will you pay me?" he joked before folding.

Then, in a limped pot, Alexandre Vuilleumier check-called 50,000 on the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop from Jamie Flynn blind on blind. The pair checked down the {4-Hearts}{5-Hearts} board and Vuilleumier won the pot with {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a rivered pair of fives.

Tournament Ruling with 13 Players Remaining

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After a lengthy discussion involving all 13 players remaining in the EPT London Main Event, a tournament ruling was agreed for the remainder of play.

There has been a spate of incidents where a player has done a "virtual all-in" whereby they moved all but a a single chip all in. This is done in order to gain extra time to potentially ladder if a player at the other table were to be eliminated.

The ruling that was agreed is as follows:

  • If a player goes "virtually all-in" leaving a single big blind or similar amount behind, and subsequently face action in that hand, they will have just minute (one time extension) to act on their hand.
  • Were they to survive with this amount, and continue to tank in hands then a five-second shot clock may be introduced for them.

This rule is solely for the remainder of the Main Event.
