The Ol' Self-Clock Play

John Racener
John Racener
On a flop of {4-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}, a player bets 6,500 and John Racener reraises to 16,600. The opponent thinks, and thinks, and thinks. Eventually, he calls the floor over. "I want to call the clock on myself," he says. The dealer comments that it's the second self-clock he's had in a half-hour. Eventually, Racener's opponent folds.

Montel Williams Puts on a Show

A player under the gun limps in. Montel Williams limps in, from the 3 seat. The big blind checks. The flop is {5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{8-Spades}. The big blind bets 1,000. Seat 1 folds. Montel calls. The turn is the {K-Hearts}. The big blind checks. Montel bets 3,000. The big blind thinks about it for several minutes and then shoves for only 250 more.

Montel calls, of course, and turns over {K-Spades}{3-Clubs} to the opponent's {8-Hearts}{7-Spades}. The river is the {6-Spades} and the opponent busts. Montel is up to 36,000.
