On a flop of , Claudia Crawford checks and Mukul Pahuja bets 44,000. Crawford check-calls and the peels off on the turn. Crawford now leads out for 55,000 and Pahuja calls. The river is the and Crawford leads out for 75,000.
Pahuja goes into the tank for a few moments before pushing a stack of 5,000 denomination chips forward and announcing that he is all in for about 200,000 more, which had Crawford well covered. Crawford pushes her chair back and goes into the tank while.
"Aces full?" asked Crawford. "Quad queens?"
She thinks for a several minutes longer before continuing the interrogation of Pahuja.
"No way I can fold here, right? You aren't bluffing with jacks here are you?"
After five minutes have passed, Pahuja calls the clock on Crawford. With dinner break about to get underway, the clock runs well into the dinner break. The tournament supervisor counts down Crawford's final 10 seconds before her hand is dead and Crawford reluctantly folds her hand very high in the air.
"Did you fold kings?" asked Joe McKeehen.
"Of course I did," responded Crawford.
Pahuja mucked his hand and apologized for calling clock, claiming he wouldn't have done it if he knew they were going on dinner.
Mukul Pahuja - 822,000 (82 BBs)
Claudia Crawford - 185,000 (18 BBs)
