Imper1um Crippled

Dolph Arnold limped from the button, Sorel "Imper1um" Mizzi completed the small blind and the big blind checked. The flop was {10-Spades}{9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Mizzi checked, the big blind checked, Arnold bet 20,000, Mizzi called, and the big blind folded. The turn was the {A-Hearts}. Mizzi checked, Arnold moved all in for 155,000, and Mizzi went into the tank for so long that Shane Schleger called the clock on him. Right as the floor was counting down the last ten seconds before his hand would be declared dead, Mizzi called and showed the {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}, dominated by Arnold's {K-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. The river was the {K-Clubs} and Mizzi was crippled, with only 35,000 remaining in his stack.

Arnold doubled to 340,000 on the hand.
