Can You Call the Clock on a Muck?

No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw

Andrew Kelsall raised from under the gun. In the hijack seat, David "ODB" Baker made it 750. Action folded back around to Kelsall and he called.

Baker lifted up his cards and looked through them for a bit, flicked them a couples times, then shuffled them around.

"Can you call the clock on a muck?" Chance Kornuth asked, joking.

Baker finally put his hand down and mucked it.

"I was just kidding," Kornuth said. "You weren't taking that long. But I did ask that seriously to Hellmuth once and he lost it."

The table had a laugh.

"I had ten nine eight three deuce," Baker told Robert Mizrachi. "I didn't know if I wanted to break and draw to a nine eight or not."
