There has just been a second occurrence of a player calling the clock on themselves at Table 724. On a board, James Dambrosio had made it 20,000 and Mark McMillin shoved for 58,400 more. Dambrosio went into the tank and like Baz Karam had done before, Dambrosio eventually called the clock on himself.
As the floorman counted the seconds down, Dambrosio struggled to pull a coin out of his pocket and flip it to possibly help make his decision. The floor man's count finally reached zero though, and Damrbosio's hand was folded.
