. Stoevski fired another 7,000 and Clements moved all in for 30,150. Stoevski tanked for over five minutes before Clements called the clock on him. Stoevski eventually folded. "C'mon, Scott show us quads! I know you have quads!" asked his tablemate Dan Shak.

A few hands later Dag Martin Mikkelsen made a similar play. John Juanda three-bet pre-flop to 2,500 and Mikkelsen simply shoved enough to put Juanda to a decision for all of his chips.
