Alexsandr Savchenko’s Shot Clock
Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
The board at the river read 
with three players involved.
Action was on Savchenko who pointed at the player on his left, Vladimir Konstantinovich, who would be next to act and then pointed at his own expensive looking watch.
Savchenko bet a modest 1,200 and then began his own personal countdown for Konstantinovich. Not ten seconds went by though before he called and the third player folded.
Savchenko showed 
for king high and Konstantinovich tabled 
to take the chips.

Alexsandr Savchenko Gets it Through..Or Does He?
Level 6
: 250/500, 75 ante
On a 
river Alexsandr Savchenko moved all in for 16,450. The pot was approaching 30,000 chips and his opponent was at the opposite end of the table.
Rhythmically shuffling his chips he stared the board down, barely stopping to recheck his hole cards or count out the call. Eventually he folded and Savchenko let out a big sigh.
He flung 
face up on the table, with his opponent remaining stone-faced.

The blinds got out of the way and Bukreev gave it some though and another look at his cards before he four-bet to 9,400.
Karpenko seemed to be asking Bukreev what he had but all he got was a grin and a shake of the head before he collected the pot and released his hand cards unseen.
