Clock Called on Keating as Cardia Puts in Big Shove

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

A massive pile of chips was already in the middle as Puddu Cardia and Alex Keating went heads-up to the K?8?5?4?5? board. Cardia then moved all in for 105,000.

Keating tanked for about a minute before the clock was called. Keating argued he hadn't been given enough time and the floor was called over. It was ruled Keating should be given more time as he continued to consider the decision.

Another few minutes elapsed before another player again called the clock. Keating was given 30 seconds to act, and folded his hand before the time ran out.

Cardia then showed him K?K? as he took the pot. "Just for you," Cardia said.

"He doesn't normally show," a tablemate told Keating, who had only just arrived at the table.

"I had a king," Keating said, pointing at the king on the board.

"For you, nada," Cardia countered.
