given all those factors, it was very inappropriate of her to call the clock...having said that, I plan on calling the clock several times on John Phan during LAPC Main Event, if we end up at the same table
Given all of these factors:
1) It was deep in the tournament.
2) The guy was to my knowledge taking a long time.
3) He was getting 5 to 1 (as opposed to someone shoving 4x the pot on the river or something) which means there is no good reason for delaying a decision.
It is therefore within the bounds of etiquette for her to call the clock.
Again, this is coming from a guy who has never called the clock on anyone before.
