Luca's Tanking Becoming an Issue
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Ivan Luca has been notorious during this tournament for taking a remarkably long time to make decisions. Up until this point it has not been an issue. However, Luca has had the clock called on him twice during this final table. Most recently, action folded around to him in the small blind and he pondered his action for over a minute.
Francisco Baruffi Neto was waiting in the big blind and called the clock on him. Luca casually leaned back in his chair and stared at the clock, waiting for the full sixty seconds to pass, forcing the dealer to muck Luca's hand. Floor staff responded that if he keeps up this action he will be put on a thirty second clock.
