James Matz has been pushing a lot in the last few hands to get himself over the 3 million mark. The last hand saw him push against Steve Sung's button raise only for Pete Vilandos to call for the clock after a very short amount of time. The clock call was refused and after a couple more minutes, Sung folded anyway.
