Addamo Beats the Clock to Leave Brewer Short
A big pot was brewing on the 
turn. There was already about 200,000 in the middle and Chris Brewer put out a pot-sized bet of 200,000. Michael Addamo called and the river was the 
.
Brewer fired another 700,000 representing most of his remaining stack. Addamo sighed and leaned into the table, staring at the board for answers as he went deep into the tank for a few minutes. Eventually, the clock was called and the floorman began counting down. With five seconds left on the count, Addamo put in a stack of chips to signify a call.
Brewer shook his head and turned over 
for jack-high. Addamo revealed 
for two pair and won the pot.
"I knew you were going to call once the clock was called," said Brewer. "I've seen it before."
Brewer was upset at his tablemate Mustapha Kanit for calling the clock.
"It was such a massive pot," said Brewer.
Addamo quietly collected the pot as he moved into the chip lead.
