Sitbon Called on Clock Again; Frenchman Unhappy

Landon Tice opened from middle position, and the player on his direct left put in the three-bet. Julien Sitbon cold called from the big blind, and Tice also called.

Action checked through on the A♦9♠4♣ flop to the 2♦ turn. Sitbon led out for 3,300, and only Tice called.

On the 8♦ river, Sitbon continued for another 7,700, and after some decision time, Tice jammed for 30,000.

Sitbon, with around 18,000 behind, went into the tank, and after around a minute a tablemate called the clock, which seemed a bit early to do so. The tournament director arrived and gave Sitbon a few extra seconds before beginning the countdown.

For the second time today, Sitbon could not make a decision by the end of the countdown and his hand was declared dead.

After the hand, Sitbon voiced his displeasure as he felt he should've been given some more time being that he was calling for his tournament life.
