Clock Calls
Level 5: 100-200, 25 ante
Action has been fast today, but at two tables it slowed considerably when the clock was called. First it was David Levi who called the clock on himself after being faced with an all in bet on a board of K
87
2
4. Even with the allure of 64,000 in the pot, Levi let his hand go.
Next it was Jason Potter who would have the clock called on him. Usually these big desicions that take enough time to warrant a clock are either large river bets or all in's. However, on the turn Potter faced a single 6,000 chip raise. He tanked for several minutes before a player at the table called for the floor. Potter looked upset and mucked his hand shortly after the floorperson arrived.
