Slow Play Causes Tournament Clock Stop and a Three Hand Catch Up

Recep Aydemir opened the button to 400,000. Yuan Xu defended the big blind.

Xu check-called a bet of 450,000 on the flop of 3♦4♥9♦. He then check-raised all in over a bet of 1,100,000 on the Q♥ turn. His all in was worth 3,850,000 total.

Aydemir went into the tank for a good four minutes, and said a few different numbers in relation to the pot and the value of the all in, The dealer kept repeating the total before the clock was called. Aydemir then mucked his cards before the floor could move a muscle.

This hand, along with previous ones, meant that the adjacent table played at a much faster pace. This resulted in the tournament clock being temporarily paused and play on the other table would be paused. The table featuring Xu and Aydemir had to play three more hands before play resumed on the second table.

As of now play as resumed as normal.
