Sands Out, Has Clock Called After 20 Seconds

David Sands eliminated.
David Sands eliminated.

Over on Table 10 in the Gold Section a player called the clock on David "Doc" Sands after about 20 seconds. The floor supervisor arrived and asked the dealer if he's had a reasonable amount of time to make a decision.

The dealer replied no and the floorman refused to start a clock on Sands.

"He takes eight seconds to open a pot," the complainer said.

"Sir, we're not playing online poker," the floorman replied.

"So I can take 20 seconds to make every decision?" the complainer asked.

"Let's draw a line somewhere between common sense and courtesy," Michael "Carwash" Schneider said.

The floor instructed the table to play cards because there was a hand in progress.

The result of the hand was Chad Wiedenhoeft fout-bet all in and Sands called. Sands held {K-} {Q-} and Wiedenhoeft held pocket eights. Sands didn't connect with the board and was eliminated.

He walked away shaking his head.
