Clock Called In Kaverman Hand
![[user127999]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The above headline comes as no surprise to anyone, as the deliberate Byron Kaverman gets the clock called on him regularly.
However, this time the clock wasn't called on Kaverman. His opponent, Igor Yaroshevskyy, did call the clock. But he called it on himself.
They were heads-up on an 
board with about 70,000 in the pot and Kaverman all in. Yaroshevskyy held just 97,000 to Kaverman's 420,000 and was faced with a decision for his tournament life.
It took several minutes as he agonized over the decision before he called the clock on himself. His hand was declared dead 60 seconds later and Kaverman raked the pot, inching ever closer to the 500,000-chip mark in his effort to make another High Roller here in Malta, having finished ninth in the €10,000 + 200 and fifth in the €25,000 + 750.
