To see rigby go from chip leader and so cocky and arrogant, to crying about the clock getting called while tanking with ace high was the highlight of the main event

Wish we could've seen the reactions of everyone at the table when they found out he had A high and was never calling. Just wasting everyone's time.

It should've been a instafold after buddy went all in.... To sit there for 5-10 minutes is an absolute joke and yes the clock call was warranted

It’s ridiculous that it took Rigby that long. It’s not a hard fold or call, just taking forever for no reason

Clocked was justified. Rigby was never calling, he was just sitting their steaming, he donked off all his chips in previous hands. Personally, i would have called the clock sooner.

extremely reasonable clock call

A) I can't imagine taking 5+ minutes with Ace high and no kicker and then being mad the clock was called. B) I genuinely don't understand the Rigby airtime at all. He was just a super boring dude who was going to try to show us how "edgy" he was by saying bro a bunch and forgetting he's no longer in college at his frat.

The only thing wrong was not calling the clock *much* sooner. The stalling effects every other player (numbers of hands played at the blinds) and one in the hand rarely if ever will call for clock.

Wearing that Stoic merch is so ironic when you get to see his behaviour.

I think Rigby might be storing acorns for the winter.

I think it’s the players not in the hand responsibility to call clock after a respectful amount of time. Players in the hand could give tells or reads by doing so. Calling clock is about the whole table not just the hand.

As a former child, I totally get where everyone's coming from

Saved his tournament life lol. What a joke!! Thats why Rigby donked off all his chips.

No maturity at the table. Not shocked Rigby is still in elementary school emotionally... Justified clock call, imo.

Not having an automatic shot clock in any poker game is the problem

These guys got home, watched the tape and all screamed "Ace high! WTF!?!"

Vampan is the only one who looks reasonable in this clip. None of what Rigby or Sachs said was rational. All of what Vampan said was. LOL @ Sachs saying "it's like the most absurd thing I've ever seen". What a child.

Imagine people using a rule within the game and Sachs and Rigby getting mad. The whole table should be mad at them, they are the real clowns

No chance he’s ever calling there. He was just steaming that he punted off 500k on the river. Lol

Rigby’s walk from the table to the rail was his longest ever

Guy who called clock was WAY IN THE RIGHT, online you get 30 seconds a hand and everyone does fine, to sit there for 11 minutes is insane in a pot where you have ace high.

I’m so sick of them covering this guy. He got noticed for bluffing with 32 last year yeah great player

Its ridiculous how long these guys take to make a decision!!

Would love to see their reactions when they see what he tanked with

The easiest thing to do in poker to eliminate the abuse the guy got who called the clock is make a mandatory clock called at 5minutes....That is way more time than every poker player gets online to think about a decision....more than enough time! And no one gets abused for doing the right thing.

There was zero chance he was calling there.

I like how the commentators got all quiet after originally saying it was a nice play to kill the clock before the dinner break 😂

How did it take him 7 minutes to fold Ace high!?

This is why I hate poker so much now...A bunch of tankers slowing down the game so much for nothing...

People see how long he took for that and realize how out of line rugby was.

6:27 is what you locking for 😁

Someone needed to hand Rigby a Snickers.

He probably just got carried away day dreaming about Pizza Rolls

😂 at Maria Ho. “Everybody needs to meditate on break”

Marcus Aurelius would be proud 😂

It would be interesting to hear from the players after they find out he only had A-7.

It's bad to take that much time because the moment when you actually need time to take a hard decision, everyone at the table won't respect you or will call the clock earlier.

Rigby was nothing more than a lucky calling station who played super aggressive. Those types rarely win.

How long do you need

Commentator says he blocks 7-6 how in the world does he block that when there are more 7’s and 6’s. Blocking strategy kills the way people think in poker

I'm Guessing Sachs thought Rigby folded AK. And when he later saw it was A7 he knew he was wrong to blame Vampan.

Funny thing is I'm watching this on KZfaq and it went to a commercial ad, 😆 🤣 😂

Somebody give Rigby a Snickers, he's not himself.

Seneca would be proud.

Somehow, the longer this went, the more I started imagining he had at least a pair of 7s at least. And then...you keep coming back to his actual hand and it just makes no sense what he's doing

Rigby is annoying.

Personally I think 5 minutes is PLENTY to call the clock, especially if you’re not covered, don’t have a hand, etc. As a player and a viewer, I’d like more than 5 hands an hour. I like the poker shows that have a clock every hand, every action. These nitwits stall for “tv time” but they make you wanna change the channel.

Maybe this should put forward a case of say a auto clock when a tank time reaches the 5 minute mark, for tournaments that is, because some tournaments can have hundreds of players and it can get exhaustingly long sometimes.

He took that much time for no reason, come on, he was NEVER calling, never.

why doesn't the WSOP implement 30 seconds shot clock with time bank cards like the EPT and other major tournaments?

Every significant tournament needs a clock on every hand. They do it in chess, they can do it in poker.

He's upset they called clock for the exact reason the clock rule is implemented... to prevent strategic stalling that doesn't have anything to so with the hand

Taking that long is just insane no matter what the stakes are .

His hat says "STOIC"... Ironic...

If Rigby had a set or K,10 he most likely would have called and wouldn't have been in the tank for 6 minutes. If he had anything at all he would have bet the turn. The other players knew he was just steaming and wasting their time.

Ryan Fitzpatrick doesn’t have the same jovial persona as he does on TNF.

Como pode ser tão ruim e ter dado tanta sorte nesse torneio

Someone was excited for dinner and couldn’t wait

I would like to see a mandatory 3 min time limit.

I'm not sure he knows what STOIC means. Marcus Aurelius would never mourn losing an A-high hand.

Im so sick of clowns tanking. "Make poker fast again"

the very next hand he gets ace 7 again

Was the clock call warranted? Yes. Was the frustration *about* it being called on Sachs' part warranted? Also yes. From where he was sitting, it looked like Rigby had a real decision and ended up folding due to the increased pressure. He had no way to know that he was just stalling for the break with air - literally the only person who did not have justification to be unhappy about this was Rigby himself, who was never calling. I do think that Sachs' frustration at continuing to be chirped at by Vampan afterwards was also understandable, however; again, from where he was sitting, it looked like the clock call just cost him the double up. Acting like he is in the wrong for wanting to let Rigby potentially donk off his chips is just misplaced ire.

I think the funniest aspect is the guy who won the pot getting angry that the clock was called. As if his snap shove isn't always super strong and as if Rigby is ever calling there given his body language.

Announcers don't know when to shut up.

It is so funny rigby is talking about a non cool clock call when he knows they will find out in 30‘ he was tanking with A7. Does not seem like the brightest mind

I really love Maria Ho's commentary

If you end up at a table with Rigby, please remember to tank ace high for 6 minutes on any big river bet

LOL, if it isnt the Main Event i call the clock after 2 minutes in a random Hand on any tournament.

The dealer should be in charge of the clock and i think after 5 minutes, you should get one one minute with a last 10 second countdown

Save yourself 10 minutes and skip to 10:00.

Reminds me of Christmas dinner conversations.

There's a reason that players are able to call the clock. This was one of them. For both players to have a crack at the player calling the clock after old mate tanked for OVER 5 MINUTES WITH AIR is lunacy. He was never calling off almost his whole stack with ace high. Never in a million years.

I love how Rigby has Stoic written on his hat Haha

Place a 40 second limit from the beginning

At 10:28 Sacks found out it was Ace high after getting upset thinking he had A10 or TT. He then walks back to the table with his head down knowing the clock call was correct. What a dingus.

nicholas rigby taking his time, tanking into an obvious fold river was four all the lonely people...

I wanna see vampan's reaction when he sees Rigby had A hi!!

They really should have a play clock

so 6 mins of watching someone not make a decision. erm.... great video

2 seat calls clock and I guarantee you the rest of the table wanted to high five the guy

Nobody had an issue with Negreanu calling clock on a hand he wasn't in at the one drop final table when Reinkemeyer got bluffed out of aces by Scott Seiver, and that was a shorter tank.

Sachs is crazy if he thinks he was ever getting called in that spot. I hope he has looked back at the tape and realized this. I get that in the moment he would be angry but hopefully now he realizes that he wasn’t going to get called and having the clock called on Rigby didn’t cost him anything.

When the hunger sets in at the table

It's time they implement shot clocks in the main event. All those crazy long tanking's just makes the game so hard to watch :(

Sachs probably felt like a doofus when he saw Rig was doing exactly what Vampan said, just wasting time. Didn't have tens and clock didn't cost him anything. Rig's comment of "I should be thanking you b/c you saved me" just shows how tilted he was that his strat in early tournament didn't work later on. He was never calling there.

Tanking that long with ace high...

institute mandatory hands per table. every table MUST play X number of hands before they can wrap up.

The fact that he knew he had him beat before the river is still impressive

This reminds me of when i was in vegas last year, was playing a cash game, and this dude was in the tank for ATLEAST 10 minutes, not even exaggerating, i wasnt in the hand but i just wanted to play, i called the clock and the guy looks at me and says “really dude? Why would you do that” and i said bro, its been 10 whole minutes, its a poker hand in a 1/2 cash game and a call for $60 out of your $300 stack, the other people at the table wanna play too, and i’ll gladly be the guy to call clock if no one else does, im perfectly fine with it” the dude busted 2 hands later, the guy to my right who was in the hand with him said “i was literally gonna call the clock about 10 seconds after you did so im glad someone said it”

Dude should’ve folded and kept it moving. There is reason whatsoever to take that long.

Time clock please

I doubt Sachs will apologize to him after finding out dude was never going to call

Personally, I'd be excited that all 3 are fighting. Letting them kill each other makes me one of the most level-headed players at the table.

the crazy thing is that they think its ok to play a 10 minute hand. with A7 no less against an all in. lol.

CLOCK!!!CLOCK. ID of called clock after 5 mins. Screw that lame. Stoic.... that's not the word for it.

Rigby is a punk

8:05 ' it wasnt even 10 minutes' .........the state of poker in 2023 where someone can actually be serious and think its ok because it wasnt even 10 mins. fing wow.

bro the cards are not a Big Mac, you can let them go

imagine playing 5 hands an hour
