One-Minute Clock Warning

Level 2 : 50/100, 0 ante

With a board reading {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{K-Clubs}{A-Spades}{6-Clubs}, WSOP Circuit Foxwoods champ Kevin "BeL0WaB0Ve" Saul checked from early position and opened the door for his opponent on the button to bet 3,125. Saul responded with an all-in check-raise, which put the pressure on the button, who had about 12,000 behind.

The button tanked for several minutes before Saul chimed, "Just so you know, I'm going to give you a one-minute clock warning. So you have one minute before I call a clock."

About a minute passed before another player at the table actually called the clock. Tournament Director Dennis Jones made his way over and promptly informed the button that he had a minute and ten seconds to act, the latter of which would be counted down. The button literally waited until the very last second before tossing in a chip for a call.

"Full house," Saul said and tabled the {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}. It was good as the button simply mucked and exited the tournament area.
