Ostrander Calls the Clock

[user101598]

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Jeff Madsen raised to 775 from under the gun, and a player on the button meant to call, tossing out 1,075, but that is a raise. After a bit of confusion - the dealer was arguing that it was a call - the table concluded that it was a raise, and the action folded back to Madsen, who moved all in for effectively 23,075.

The player who accidentally raised went into the tank, and sat quietly for a very long time. After a while, he told the table, "You're just going to have to sit there and watch me get my massage."

At that point, Greg Ostrander spoke up.

"I've never called the clock in my life," he said before popping his clock cherry.

The floor was called over and started the countdown.

"Tell me when it's three seconds," the player requested.

Finally, after several minutes, the clock expired and the hand was dead. Madsen and a few of his tablemates shared a laugh as the two-time WSOP bracelet winner pulled in the pot.
