came on the turn, Toto Leonidas bet 1,500, Scott Pendergrast raised to 3,000, and Leonidas called. The river was the {3-Clubs}

Some time passed, and players at the table questioned how long a person gets after the clock is called on them. The dealer explained the rules, and Leonidas asked if the clocked had been called on him. The dealer responded, "No, no one has called the clock." Leonidas said, "Go on and call the clock." So, the floor was called and time was counted down.

Leonidas sat with his cards until the countdown was complete, and then released his hand. Pendergrast took the pot, increasing his stack to 30,000. Leonidas dropped down to 14,000.
