Surkamp Calls the Clock Too Early
Level 2
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
With roughly 20,000 in the middle on a board of 8♦9♦8♠8♣, the action had checked to Alen Sabic on the button and he fired out a bet of 6,000. William Trumm called from the small blind before Florian Surkamp folded in middle position.
Trumm checked the 2♣ on the river and faced a bet of 25,000 from Sabic. The bet sent Trumm deep into the tank, prompting Surkamp to call the clock on him. However, the floor staff determined that Trumm hadn't been given ample time to make his decision, so the thirty-second countdown did not commence.
After a few more moments of deliberation, Trumm elected to fold, forfeiting the pot to Sabic.
