Bechtel Check-Bombs Flop

Level 6 : 400/800, 800 ante

With 22,600 in the pot on a flop of {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}, Jim Bechtel had check-raised all in for a total of 75,400 from the small blind over his opponent's bet of 30,200 from early position.

Bechtel's opponent quickly asked for the dealer to rake in the 30,200 from each player in order to see the amount left to call. After about a minute, he asked the dealer again how much it was to call. The dealer confirmed the remaining amount was 45,200.

Three more minutes passed by and eventually another player at the table called for a clock. A member of the floor happened to be walking by at that exact moment and carried out the process. As the countdown neared the end, the floor's "five, four, three . . . " was audible.

With two seconds left, Bechtel's opponent flicked forward his cards and the pot was shipped Bechtel's way.
