Martini Gets a Warning

Milko van Winden

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Tamer Kamel limped from the hijack and Julien Martini put his big stack in the middle from the button. He had everyone at the table covered. The player in the big blind tanked for a while and Martini was talking to him while Kamel was also still in the hand. The player eventually folded and it was on Kamel.

Kamel though about it for another minute or so and Martini called the clock because he thought that he had enough time already. Kamel started to make a scene out of the situation and wanted a floor person present. Kamel called Martini ''an asshole'' for calling the clock and ''influencing the action'' in a multi-way pot.

Martini got a warning from the floor person for talking and the thirty-second countdown started. Kamel waited until his time ran out and he mucked his cards when his hand was declared dead.
