Ruecker Bluffs His Way to Victory

What is it with players calling the clock on themselves? It happened for the third time today in a hand between Dixon Ruecker and Sorel Mizzi. Mizzi was in the big blind for the hand and called a raise to 17,000 from Ruecker. The flop was huge, coming down {A-Hearts} {K-Diamonds} {A-Spades}. Mizzi quickly checked it over to Ruecker, who showed no fear in firing out a continuation bet of 20,000. Mizzi called.

Both players checked the {3-Hearts} turn. When the dealer produced the {5-Diamonds} as the river card, Mizzi opted to lead out for 51,000. Ruecker raised him to 150,000. Mizzi, with 245,000 chips behind his bet, tanked for several minutes. It was long enough that he finally called a clock on himself, and then folded.

Ruecker opened {J-Spades} {8-Spades} -- a stone bluff -- drawing murmurs from the rail. He moved up to 630,000 in chips.
