Another Double for Sabat

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 400 ante

Eddy Sabat moved all in from the button for 41,900 and Benjamin McLean tanked from the big blind. Tom Rafferty called the clock on McLean after he was in the tank for a bit. When McLean heard the clock called on him he said, "Just because of that," and pushed the chips to call over the betting line.

"I didn't call the clock on you," said Sabat. He in fact didn't, it was Rafferty. Either way, spite call or not, McLean made the call and the hands were turned over.

Sabat: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
McLean: {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and Sabat doubled up.
