Ted Tanks One Time Too Many

On a flop of {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {2-Hearts}, Luca Pagano moved all in for 10,000 and Ted Lawson tanked over the decision for several minutes as he has done several times today. A clock was finally called on Lawson and a floor supervisor came over to the table, informing Lawson that he had 30 seconds to act on his hand.

Once Lawson timed out and his hand was declared dead, he launched into a complaint with the floorman, claiming he should have been given a full minute to act on his hand.

"You've had more than enough time to act," said the floorman.

"That's not the point!" argued Lawson.

Ultimately another supervisor came over several minutes after the hand and declared that Lawson should have been granted the full minute.
