We found Mikita Badziakouski contemplating whether to call off his last 10,200. There was only a bit more than that in the pot, and all of the cards were out: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{2-Spades}.

"Why not check?" he said with a smile. "Why bluff me?"

Eventually his opponent, Makram Saber, called a clock.

"My last minute in the tournament," Badziakouski said. "Good luck guys."

As the final 10 second countdown began, Badziakouski held his chips over the pot then brought them back. Under five seconds left, and he decided to call.

Saber showed {k-Spades}{q-Clubs} for the nuts. Badziakouski vacated his cards, and the dealer turned over {j-Spades}{j-Clubs}.
