Choi Nears 300K

Level 3 : 200/400, 400 ante
Susan Choi
Susan Choi

With 21,000 in the pot and {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{5-Spades}{q-Clubs} on the board, Susan Choi was all-in from the big blind with her opponent in late position covered.

Choi's opponent was deep in the tank with around 50,000 left when another at the player called the clock.

As the tournament director arrived, Choi clarified for all that she did not call the clock.

"That was not from me. I never call the clock. That's my golden rule."

Nevertheless, the tournament director counted Choi's opponent down and he ultimately folded.

Choi dragged another pot and her run at the top of the leaderboard continues.
