Awkward spot for Bob Drummond just now. After Mohamed Razab-Sekh had fired 5,100 on a flop of :::2c:::2d:::2h, Drummond had gone to check-raise but accidentally dropped a couple of chips during the action. He didn’t call the floor and accepted the dealer’s judgement that it was a min-raise.
Razab-Sekh immediately moved all in to put the pressure back on Drummond and the latter began to think, however after barely 10 seconds Roman Kleyman called the clock which made Drummond fairly cross. The dealer told Tournament Director John Scanlon that barely any time had elapsed and Scanlon refused to give Drummond a clock, preferring to wait by the table as the hand unfolded.
After about three to four more minutes, Scanlon did call the clock and with about 30 seconds left, Drummond folded :::8s:::8d face up to Razab-Sekh’s bet, leaving himself with about 15,000 remaining. Afterwards Scanlon warned Kleyman about his calling of the clock in needless circumstances.
