Cohen Calls the Clock

A player in middle position opened the action with a raise to 2,700. The bet came around to big stack Andrew Cohen, and he popped it up to 9,000 total. This sent his opponent deep into the tank, and he would take several minutes to decide on his action. In fact, he took so long that Cohen called the clock on him. The floor person counted all the way down through 5...4...3... before the raiser moved all in for an additional 43,200.

Now it was Cohen's turn in the tank. He eyed up his own stack and labored for a minute over the decision. Shooting a glance across the table, he mumbled, "I don't think I'm good enough to lay this down," contemplating a big decision for a huge chunk of chips. Finally, after much deliberation, he flicked his cards back into the muck, choosing to save his hard-earned chips for a more promising spot.
