Baldwin Brings His Own Clock

Eric Baldwin is down to just 6,400 chips after making a big river call on a board of {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. Baldwin had checked the action over to his opponent on the button who fired 6,175 into the middle.

Baldwin sat in the tank for several minutes. Eventually one of the players asked for the clock to which Baldwin responded, "Don't worry, I'll watch my own watch and make a decision soon!"

He did and it was to call, but his {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} wasn't enough to overcome his opponent's {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}.
