With the flop showing A♦Q♥J♥, Orvar Gudmundsson was already all-in and at risk, awaiting his fate with Mihkel Vitsur and Johan Mattsson still active. The clock was called on Mattsson as he was deep in the tank, and they then eventually checked to the K♥ turn.
Mattsson tanked again a long time and was given thirty seconds. They had run down when he wanted to bet 10,000, but his action was already a check. Vitsur then pushed all-in and Mattsson reluctantly folded after he was called the clock upon again.
Orvar Gudmundsson: A♣3♥ 
Mihkel Vitsur: 10♦8♦
Gudmundsson needed another heart and got it with the 4♥ river to stay alive. The hand took several minutes into the break and the rail from Iceland left happily.
