Van Hoof Almost Times Out; Hero-Calls At Wrong Time
Alex Kulev was moved tables and the first hand he played saw him in the small blind with an open raise to 8,500. Jorryt van Hoof called in the big blind and the flop of 
was checked by both players. On the 
turn, Kulev bet 24,500 and Van Hoof came along as they headed to the 
on the river.
Kulev wasted little time before pushing all-in for 58,500 and Van Hoof didn't ask for any count yet. Instead, he burned through all time banks while staring at the board and his opponent and enjoyed a massage. At the very last second, he tossed in a call and the table was rather perplexed because they didn't know if it was in time or not.
"Let the floor decide," Van Hoof said and it was ruled as a call. Kulev tabled the 
for a straight and Van Hoof only had 
for a bluff catcher to see his stack plummet to two blinds and change.
