The Final Countdown
![[user357898]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
An interesting pot just played out between Anson Tsang, Feng Jiao Wang, and Sen Mu. With a 
flop out there, Mu had led for 7,000 and Wang had called. Tsang then moved all-in for around 55,000 and with the action on Mu, he went deep into the tank. Eventually the clock was called, and Mu pondered his decision with his roughly 20,000 stack in his hands.
Finally, he slammed down a call.
Or did he? It turned out Mu was told his minute was up, and therefore his hand was dead. The table (notably Wing Kei Chan and Hung Sheng Lin) began to argue on Mu's behalf that a final ten or five second countdown should have been made by the floor staff, and therefore Mu should get an extra ten seconds to decide. A ruling was made that Mu should indeed get extra time, and he let another eight or nine seconds of his final countdown tick before making the call for the second time.
Wang now let her hand go quickly, and Mu saw that his 
for top pair was in bad shape against Tsang's 
. The poker gods were looking down on Mu though and gifted him a 
on the turn for two pair, which got "Ohhhhh!"s from around the table. Mu's hand held up after the 
river, doubling him up to 75,000 and bringing Tsang's stack down to 24,000.
