Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

As a founding member of an all female poker crew called The Grindettes, Katie Stone has never been shy to speak her mind in the traditionally patriarchal world of tournament poker. She is an outspoken advocate of expanding the game's embrace, hoping to entice more women to participate in poker without being bullied out by brashness and bravado.

Stone just showed her moxie yet again, calling the clock on a man who was tanking for an inordinately long time.

The flop read and about 5,500 was up for grabs in the pot when Stone saw her opponent tap the table. She jammed all in for 12,025, making a big overbet before waiting for her opponent to respond. Rather than call or fold though, the man sat still as a stone for a few minutes, which prompted the aforementioned call for a clock.

The man sat stoically in wait, letting his 60-second allotment tick down to two seconds before flinging his hand away.

Stone then began a friendly exchange with the man, showing that even as the age old battle of the sexes rages on, the game of poker remains all in good fun.

Unfortunately for Stone, however, she went bust just a few hands later after running into the held by Paul Weiser. The money went in before the flop and the board rolled out and Stone headed for the exits just before break.
