Several minutes into Max Lehmanski's decision on the river of the 
board, another player on his table called a clock.
Lehmanski was in a tough spot, sitting on the button and facing an all-in river-bet from small blind Majid Yahyaei. There was over 100,000 in the middle and Lehmanski had 107,500 left.
He eventually made the call for all his chips and Yahyaei turned up 
for a nut straight. Lehmanski, however, rolled over 
for sixes full and raked in the massive pot.
