Baron Takes a Monster Pot from Stig Top

Isaac 'westmenloAA' Baron
Isaac 'westmenloAA' Baron
We caught up to this hand with the board showing {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} and Isaac 'westmenloAA' Baron had just moved in over the top of a bet made by his heads-up opponent Stig Top Rasmussen. Facing a decision to call Baron's ~160,000 bet, Stig stood up out of his seat and moved a couple of steps away from the table. He then returned and set up shop in a squatting position just behind his chair.

After a few minutes had passed, someone - we're unsure who - called the clock and Stig was given 60 seconds to make a decision. When the countdown reached single digits, Stig slid his cards toward the dealer, forfeiting the pot to Baron, who now has nearly 800,000 in chips.

Stig dropped to 400,000 with the loss.
