Pisane Gets The Clock Called, Then Four-Bets

Level 30 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Randy Pisane opened the action with a raise to 380,000 from the cutoff. Next to act, Pedro Oliveira three-bet to 1,100,000. Action folded to Jake Bazeley, who tanked for a big from the big blind before he released his cards, and the action was back to Pisane. He thought for roughly two minutes before the clock was called on him.

As the table waited for a floor person to arrive, Pisane finally made a move, re-raising to 3,080,000. Oliveira quickly folded his cards.

A verbal spat then erupted between Pisane and some of the other members of the table, discussing whether or not calling the clock in this specific instance was warranted. Pisane didn't think it was fair that the clock was called on him after such a short amount of time.

"You made a raise to 1.1 million," he said after the hand. "I will take as long as I want. It's a big decision."

Either way, Pisane took in the pot and added to his stack.
