Another Show by Litvinov
Artem Litvinov has just put another of his performances here at Casino Sanremo after Ludovic Lacay had called time on him and Litvinov didn't realize that he had just a few seconds to act.
With the board reading and Inge Forsmo in the cutoff seat and Litvinov in the big blind still in play Forsmo bet 115,000 and Litvinov went into a long tank. After thinking for a minute or so Litvinov picked up his coin card-protector and flipped it high into the air. Litvinov obviously didn't like what came out of it and kept thinking with his head down looking at his stack.
Ludovic Lacay asked the dealer to call time and the floor told Litvinov he had only one minute left to make the decision. Litvinov didn't respond and kept his eyes down. It wasn't until the floor started counting the last ten seconds out loud that Litvinov actually realized that the time was called on him. Litvinov burst out saying he had no idea about him having only one minute to act blaming Lacay for calling time and claiming that he had pocket tens and needed more time to make the decision.
Eventually the floor was able to calm Litvinov down, but the Russian seemed to be left steaming bad.
