Action was joined on the river with the board reading 
. From the big blind, Xiaofeng Hu moved all in with a pot of about 300,000 in the middle. Frederic Normand was in the small blind and had the decision for his tournament life on him.
While Normand thought there was a lot of commotion as the players at the table and other tables got talkative when the floor announced a change in plan to the break structure. Through the loud chaos, Normand did not realize the clock had been called on him by someone and he suddenly had just 15 seconds to make a decision. But the floor reset the clock as Normand protested as the loudness continued as he tried to think about the decision.
Eventually, he called. Hu showed the 
for two-pair. Normand angrily tossed his cards into the muck as his day was over.
