Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Rajesh Mehta limped the small blind and Justin Zaki checked his option.

The dealer spread a flop of K♣9♦5♦, and Mehta led for 600,000. Zaki called.

When the 3♣ hit the turn, Mehta checked and Zaki stacked up a bet of 3,000,000 and pushed it across the line. Mehta went into the tank for about three minutes before a table mate called the clock. The floorman gave Mehta 30 seconds to act, and as he hit 10 seconds, Mehta mucked his hand.
