The action starts rather innocent with a raise to 10,000 by Adrian Pacheco from under the gun and he receives three callers including Wadih Barbara in the next seat, Uno Bolovson in the small blind and Craig Rimmer in the big blind.

Following the flop, the action checks to Barbara and he bets 40,000, leaving himself 23,000 behind. Bolovson folds and Rimmer min-raises to 80,000 which Pacheco reluctantly calls. Barbara calls all-in and the massive main pot is set.

The follows on the turn and Rimmer checks. Pacheco bets 100,000 only for Rimmer to move all-in and that instantly sends Pacheco into a deep tank.

“I don’t think you would reraise with a five there,” Pacheco says and tanks for nearly seven minutes as the level clock runs down.

“You gonna see it no matter what,” Rimmer tells Pacheco who replies “yeah, I understand”.

With thirty seconds left in the level, Rimmer tells him that he will call the clock. That’s what happens, and during the thirty seconds extra count down, Pacheco calls.
