Daniel Reijmer in the big blind was involved in a pot with the small blind player. The small blind checked and Reijmer bet 40,000 into a pot of roughly 80,000. The small blind went deep into the tank. After several minutes the clock was called and a floor person came over to give the small blind a thirty second countdown. With just under five seconds remaining the small blind reluctantly gave up his hand to send the large pot Reijmer's way.
