Amokrane Slides More as Clock Is Called

Nikolay Yosifov limped in from early position and was joined in the pot by Matt Mamiya, Mourad Amokrane, Matthew Mlsna in the small blind, and Kao Chieng Saechao in the big blind.

The flop came and Yosifov bet 100,000. Only Amokrane called to see the fall on the turn. Yosifov bet another 275,000 and Amokrane called after tanking for about two minutes.

The river came the and now it was Yosifov's turn to stop and think. After a few minutes he slid forward a bet of 650,000. Amokrane, who barely had the bet covered, went into the tank again before the clock was called.

A tournament official began counting down and Amokrane's hand was declared dead after 30 seconds. Amokrane, the massive chip leader at the start of the final table, is now one of the shorter stacks.
