Aalvik Lets the Clock Run Out

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Players were heads up and already on the river with a 53,000 pot. The 3♦8♦A♣J♣6♠ board was out and Darren Grant was all in on the button for his last 25,300.

Action was on David Aalvik in late position who went into a huge tank. The floor was called, and he was given a 25-second countdown. Aalvik let the clock tick down to the very last second, and then tabled his A♥J♦ after his hand was dead.

Yik Chiu, who is sat at the same table, was stood watching the hand play out and gasped "Wow! Wow, he folded ace-jack!"

Another player at the table said "I wouldn't have had the balls to fold that."
