Assadourian Clocks Himself

Eric Assadourian called the clock on himself and may have pressured himself into the wrong decision. He was the preflop raiser in a hand with Martin Rowe, making it 11,000 to go. Rowe called out of the big blind to a flop of {7-Hearts}

. Both players checked, bringing a turn card of {K-Clubs}

. Rowe checked again, then called when Assadourian bet 12,000.

On the river {2-Hearts}

, Rowe instantly moved all in for 55,000. Assadourian went deep into the tank for several minutes, finally instructing TD Danny McDonagh to clock him. McDonagh gave Assadourian seventy seconds to make a decision. Assadourian opted to call, and was shown Rowe's {A-Hearts}

for the nuts.

Rowe's up to 156,000, while Assadourian has moved into short-stack territory with 75,000.
