A big pot was brewing in the middle of the room on a board reading {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. There was about 35,000 in the pot, and Stephen Chidwick shoved his remaining 47,000 in the middle from the big blind.

Kamal Abdel Bittar was under the gun and had a decision to make for about two thirds of his stack.

After a few minutes, a player at the table called the clock. When the tournament director began to count down from ten, Bittar decided to call.

Chidwick tabled {k-Clubs}{j-Spades} for trip jacks with a king kicker. Bittar mucked his cards.
