The flop comes and the early-position player checks. Aldridge overbets, putting 75,000 into the middle. His opponent goes deep into the tank, and eventually, a clock is called. Less than 10 seconds into the player’s 30-second timer, he announces he is all in for Aldridge’s effective stack of 114,100. Aldridge immediately calls.
