Eugene Todd came in for a raise from middle position and the action folded around to the small blind, who pushed all in for 21,800.

Todd went into the tank for quite some time before the clock was called on him. Typically, when a player uses the entire clock they either end up mucking their hand, or have it declared dead by the floorperson. Todd, however, waited until the last second and made the call, showing {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{5-Clubs}

; his opponent turned over {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{Q-Diamonds}

.

Todd would get the best of this coin flip, as the board filled out {3-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

{6-Diamonds}

{9-Clubs}

{3-Hearts}

. After the hand, Todd's chip stack stood right around 150,000.
