Tick Tock, Decision O'Clock

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Joining the action with 23,500 in the pot, and a completed board showing 91068A, Jan Sanchez bet 11,000 from under the gun. Espen Oeye raised to 31,000 a couple of seats to his left, which sent Sanchez deep into the tank.

After several minutes had passed, and Sanchez seemed no closer to a decision, another player at the table called the clock.

With about 15 seconds left to decide, Sanchez tossed his cards into the muck.

"Good fold, professional fold," Oeye told Sanchez, who neglected to respond.

A 8 turn was Jean check-call a 3,600 bet by Babana and the 6 completed the board.
