Yang Liu Evades Penalty

Level 21: 10,000 / 20,000 ante: 20,000

Under the gun Yang Liu limps before filling up Zhanhui Zheng's 65,000 raise from +1 to see the flop 9 K 2 . Liu checks, Zheng c-bets 55,000 and Liu is in the tank with no time banks left.


The initial 30 seconds run down, the dealer starts another 30 second cycle thinking Liu will use a time bank, before Liu makes the call with 15 seconds left on the clock. After the protest of some players at the table the floor gets involved and rules it a call, which keeps the protesters unhappy, but the hand moves on.


Liu checks again on the turn 7 , Zheng fires another 160,000 and goes in the tank himself after Liu check-raised to 360,000. Zheng hands two time banks to the dealer before finding the fold.
