Not Long for This World
On the draw, Hansen rapped pat while each other player took one card. Hansen immediately checked, prompting Hennigan to move all in for 17,775.
Chino Rheem pondered his decision for maybe fifteen seconds before Hennigan requested a clock. A floor was summoned to the table, prompting an immediate fold from Rheem. No sooner had Rheem folded, then Hennigan called the clock on Hansen!
The floor told Hennigan that Hansen had not had any time to act and therefore calling for a clock was inappropriate. Hennigan was irate, perhaps prompting Hansen to call with 10-9-7-x-x. Hennigan's hand was ace-high, bouncing him from the tournament.
Hennigan protested his case to the floor and to Andy Black after the hand was over. Both men's response was that a player must be allowed adequate time to make a decision before a clock is called. According to the 2009 WSOP Rules, they were both correct. Rule 50 states "Once a reasonable amount of time, which is no less than two minutes has passed and a clock is called, a player will be given one (1) minute to act."
Either way, Hennigan's out.
