Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Jamie Gold raised to 1,000,000 on the button, and both Allen Lanier and Laurance Essak called in the small and big blind.

The action checked to Gold on a A♦8♥10♣ flop, continued with a bet of 2,000,000. Lanier quickly folded, but Essak had a decision on his hands.

After taking a few minutes and not seeming any closer to a plan, Gold called the clock on Essak. As his 30 seconds ticked down towards zero, Essak folded, flipping his A♣ face up as he did.
