Kosowski had about 15,000 behind and Vamplew was staring intently at his opponent. The minutes ticked by and eventually Kosowski called time. The floor gave the Scottish pro a minute to make his decision and with seconds to spare Vamplew announced “All-in.” He was instantly called by Kosowski who tabled
