Moments ago, Raymond Faltinsky, the CEO and co-founder of FreeLife International, said enough is enough and finally called the clock.
It was in a hand with Ben Lamb, Chris Lee, and Eugene Katchalov. After all three players had checked on a flop of , the turn brought the . Lamb led out for 35,000, Lee called, and Katchalov raised to 110,000. Lamb folded, and Lee went into the tank. After over two minutes, Faltinsky called the clock.
