Costigan Calls Clock on Morel
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Arriving on the 7♣K♦4♦8♥3♣ river with around 80,000 in the pot, Alexis Morel checked from the cutoff to Niall Costigan on the button, who put in a bet of 33,500.
Morel went deep into the tank. After a few minutes, Costigan had seen enough and called the clock on his opponent.
Morel was given a 30-second countdown. In the final few seconds, he slammed in a call worth about half his remaining chips.
Costigan tabled K♠J♠ for top pair, winning the pot as Morel flung his cards into the muck in frustration.
