, effectively putting his opponent from the big blind, Dmitry Yurasov all in for his last 840,000 or so. Yurasov went into the tank, studying Romaine, who was on his direct left, with great intent. After over four minutes, somebody at the table called the clock on him.
The floorman came over and informed Yurasov of the rules and started the timer. Thirty seconds later, time was expiring and Yurasov mucked his hand, marking the second time Romaine has won a big pot on the river by way of his opponent making a big fold as time expired and he now sits with a stack of over five million chips in front of him.
