Calling the Clock

Level 12 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Alex Klimashin checked to Anaras Alekberovas on a flop of {10-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Spades}, and the Lithuanian checked behind.

The turn was the {5-Spades}, Klimashin checked again, and Alekberovas tossed out 16,000. Kilmashin called.

A fourth spade - the {3-Spades} - completed the board, and Kilmashin checked a third time. Alekberovas flicked forward 37,000, sending Kilmashin deep into the tank. Nearly three minutes passed before Alekberovas called the clock, and when he did, the Russian instantly mucked his cards.
