Clock Called on Saab

David Saab and Sam Khouiss took a flop after some preflop action. With the board reading {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades} {9-Spades}, Sam Khouiss moved all in for 7,400. This bet sent Saab into the tank. Khouiss begged for Saab to call while a decision was waiting to be made and, after a minute or two passed, time was called on Saab by a player not involved in the hand.

This seemed to upset both Saab and Khouiss. Khouiss asked who called time at the table. A player admitted to calling the clock and then Khouiss tried to tell him to just let the poker be played, explaining that sometimes decisions may take a few minutes. Some minor arguing ensued, but in the end Saab let his hand go. Khouiss showed why he was begging for a call and turned up the {A-Spades} {8-Spades}.

Saab slipped a little on the hand to 29,000 and Khouiss bumped up to 14,000.
