Yockey Wins Marathon Hand
Level 19
: 50,000/100,000, 0 ante
No-Limit Hold'em
Dario Sammartino raised to 100,000 from the small blind, and Bryce Yockey three-bet to 325,000 in the big blind. Sammartino called.
Sammartino checked the 
flop, and Yockey bet 225,000. Sammartino called.
Both players checked the 
turn, and Sammartino checked the 
river. Yockey bet 790,000, and Sammartino went into the tank.
For six minutes, neither player talked, simply shuffling chips quietly, while Sammartino studied the board and his chips. Five minutes into the break, Yockey called for a clock. Sammartino let the thirty-second clock tick all the way to zero, killing his hand, and Yockey took down the final hand before break.
