There is no doubt that poker is a game that creates plenty of tough decisions. Cole Robinson and Maurizio Sepede were just presented with two of their own and the clock was needed to help them both out.
On a final board of 
with a chip or two above 130,000 in the pot, Cole Robinson fired out a bet of 125,000. His opponent was Nicolino Di Carlo and after weighing up his next move in his mind he raised to 250,000. Robinson took his shades off to have a think and even shared a laugh with his neighbour Ludovic Lacay. Eventually the floor was called for and Robinson folded.
Simultaneously, Maurizio Sepede had made a standard pre flop raise before Paul Ribaud three-bet to 104,000. The bet was a tournament committing bet and Sepede knew it. With anguish etched all over his face he went to move his stack into the middle many times before taking his hands off his chips and rubbing them together. The floor was called, the clock put on him and he started to pray. When the count reached 2 seconds he released his hand and Ribaud won the pot.
