Robel Andemichael Doubles Thru Francis Margaglione
Robel Andemichael (left) has moved all in and waiting for Francis Margaglione to act on the opposite end of the table.

Francis Margaglione raised from the button to 800,000, Robel Andemichael reraised from the small blind to 2,000,000, and Margaglione used one of his Time Chips to tank for a while before he called.

The flop came Jd8d7h, and Andemichael moved all in for 6,025,000. Once the dealer finished counting down Andemichael’s stack and announcing the bet, Margaglione tossed in two of his Time Chips to give himself an extra minute to think.

Then, as the clock neared zero, Margaglione tossed in two more Time Chips for another minute.

Margaglione didn’t use all of that time before announcing a call, and Andemichael excitedly showed AsAd. Margaglione turned over 4d3d for a diamond flush draw, and Andemichael needed his hand to hold to stay alive.

The turn card was the 2h, the river card was the 9c, and Andemichael won the pot with his pocket aces to double up in chips.

Robel Andemichael  –  16,550,000  (66 bb)
Francis Margaglione  –  6,550,000  (26 bb)
