This time he went big and bet 480,000 putting Lyubovetskiy in a difficult spot. He spent much time in order to decide and eventually another player called the clock on him. When the floor manager started counting Lyubovetskiy threw a chip in the middle to indicate the call and create a more than 1.5 million-chip pot.
