Clock Runs Out on Kaplanoglu

Level 5 : Blinds 700/1,500, 1,500 ante

Three-handed on a board of {9-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs}, Luc Bindel bet 5,600 and was called by Metin Kaplanoglu in the hijack. Damir Zhugralin, on the button, then raised to 25,000 and Bindel quickly folded.

Kaplanoglu, though, called to see the {q-Hearts} river. He checked over to Zhugralin, who slid forward a tower of chips to put Kaplanoglu all in for around 70,000.

Kaplanoglu tanked for several minutes as Zhugralin began stretching. The clock was eventually called, and Kaplanoglu allowed the count to reach zero before his hand was declared dead.
