Diotte Gives Up
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
In the hijack, Anthony Diotte raised to 70,000 out of a 615,000 stack. The cutoff folded but Denis Timofeev on the button three-bet to 185,000. With 545,000 behind, Diotte had just two options according to the commentators; push or fold.
Diotte tanked about it for several minutes before Salmon called the clock. Diotte eventually chose to fold, leaving the pot to Timofeev.
