Jukovic Tank-Calls Correctly
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
With 19,000 in the middle and the completed board showing 
, Harry Lodge had bet 8,600 and Pasquale Braco raised to 27,000 in the hijack. Mustafa Jukovic was on the button and tanked for several minutes while trying to start table chat repeatedly. The dealer reminded him that it was a three-way pot and Jukovic eventually said "if I call this, it's only because you seem so calm."
Lodge called the clock and the floorman arrived.
"Why the clock? This is such a big pot?" Jukovic inquired. Lodge replied "it has been seven minutes" and Jukovic eventually called, Lodge snap-folded.
Braco showed the 
and Jukovic had that beat with 
for the bottom end of the straight.
Lodge had some 18,600 left after the hand and bowed out shortly after.
