Chidiac Clocks Haddad

Just before the break, we caught the tail end of a big pot. With the river already dealt, the board showed {9-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {8-Spades} {Q-Spades} {3-Clubs}, and there were 27,800 chips piled in the middle of the table. Heads up, Ramia Chidiac moved all in for exactly 15,000. His lone opponent, Ramez Haddad, would go deep into the tank considering this final decision. After several minutes, the clock was called on him, and the floor person counted him all the way down to zero, killing his hand and sending a big pot to Chidiac.
