Alekian's Timer Runs Out

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Fausto Tantillo opened the button to 100,000 and Genrik Alekian three-bet to 325,000, leaving himself around 850,000 behind in the small blind. When the action was back on Tantillo, he shoved, sending Alekian into the tank.

Around two minutes passed before Tantillo called the clock on Alekian, who was then given a 30-second countdown. The timer hit zero, Alekian's hand was declared dead, and Tantillo was awarded the pot.
