"You Can't Call the Clock On Yourself."

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 500 ante

Noah Schwartz was on the button and Grudi Grudev was in the big blind. They went to a flop of {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} and Grudev bet 42,500. Schwartz called and the turn came {3-Spades}. Grudev moved all in for more than 200,000 and Schwartz went into the tank.

Schwartz hemmed and hawed with a smile on his face. After a couple minutes of indecision Schwartz asked the dealer to call the floor -- because he wanted to call the clock on himself.

The dealer summoned the floorman and was told of the request and the floorman told Schwartz, "You can't call the clock on yourself," and started to walk away.

Andy Philachack was at the same table and as the floorman was walking away he requested that a clock be called. The floorman returned and initiated a countdown.

Schwartz folded.
