3350 Vadim Bulavchik vs. Huicun Qiao on the Bubble
After a flop of [Jd8d6s] and about 135,000 already in the pot, Vadim Bulavchik (far left) bets 55,000 from the cutoff, and Huicun Qiao (second from left) raises from the button to 120,000.

Bulavchik moves all in, easily covering Qiao, and Qiao tanks for a sevearl minutes with about 125,000 left behind.

All of the other tables have finished playing their hands, so all attention is on this table. After a couple of minutes, a few players at other tables start shouting, "Clock!"

Shortly after that, a player at Qiao’s table calls for a clock, and the countdown begins. Qiao talks to Bulavchik during the countdown, asking him if he’s bluffing and whether he’ll show his cards.

The countdown reaches zero, and the floorperson declares the hand dead. The dealer mucks the cards, and Bulavchik wins the pot.

Bulavchik shows [7d7s], and Qiao implies to the table that he folded the best hand.

Vadim Bulavchik  –  870,000  (174 bb)
Huicun Qiao  –  125,000  (25 bb)
