Of Shot Clocks, Misclicks and Floor Calling
Just before the end of Level 3 there was a hand at table six which packed a lot into a single hand. The action was started by Alexis Queneau who made it 500 to play, Alexandru Papazian flat called only for Eric Sfez to make it 2,100 total to go. Back on Queneau he considered his options, seemingly for too long as Christopher Frank called the clock.
The dealer called the floor, but before their intervention was necessary Queneau threw out a solitary 5k chip and then said re-raise, Papazian folded and Sfez then questioned if it was a raise or a call, Queneau had clearly meant to raise and believed he had done so, whereas Sfez thought it should go as a call. So the floor was called again and this time their presence was required and he ruled that Queneau's bet was just a call. "I called clock because he tilts me and now he misclicks," said Frank to a friend away from the table.
The 
was a Picasso flop, both players checked and the 
hit the turn. Again there was no action, the 
rounded out the community cards and Queneau could wait no longer. He bet 2,600, Sfez called and the former showed 
which was good.
