Corwin Cole Wins Big Withouth a Showdown

Action folded to Scott Sitron in the cutoff and he raised to 55,000. Corwin Cole reraised to 175,000 from the small blind and Sitron called.

The flop came down {A-Diamonds} {J-Hearts} {6-Clubs}. Cole stared at the board for a bit while quickly shuffling his chips. He eventually tapped the felt. Sitron said "check" very quickly behind him and the {3-Diamonds} hit the turn. Cole led out for 260,000 and Sitron made the call.

When the {4-Diamonds} fell on the river. Cole announced "six hundred thousand." He pushed out about 475,000 of his largest denomination chips leaving the yellows (T1000) behind. The call would have been for Sitron's tournament life or very close to it. He went into the tank and surveyed the situation for quite some time. After about nine minutes, Matt Matros called for a clock. Sitron politely asked who called the clock and Matros wasn't shy about quickly raising his hand.

About 30 seconds into the count, Sitron reluctantly threw his hand away. Cole took down the pot and is now commands a stack of about 1,450,000 while Sitron is down to just under 600,000.
