Prokopchuk Leaves Devany on Fumes
Brian Devany was in the cutoff with a raise of 300,000 in front of him before Mikhail Prokopchuk moved all in for 925,000 in the big blind. Devany told his tablemates he was waiting for the tournament clock to reach 10 minutes before acting, but another player eventually called time on him anyway.
Devany allowed his 30-second countdown to nearly reach zero before he called, having Prokopchuk barely covered.
Mikhail Prokopchuk: A♦K♠ 
Brian Devany: 9♥9♦
"Let's go, baby!" Devany shouted out after finding out he was flipping for most of his stack. But the flop brought A♥4♦5♠ to give Prokopchuk the lead with top pair, while the rest of the board ran out 4♠J♠ and Prokopchuk doubled up, leaving Devany with just two big blinds in the closing moments of the day.
