"Floorman, time on Table 34," exclaimed the dealer as Yanfeng Wang was deep in the tank.
With around 21,000 in the pot on the 10♣7♦Q♣9♣ board, Quentin Weber had moved all in for 19,800 from the big blind, which had sent Wang into the blender.
Wang, who had been thinking for several minutes, had been given an extra 30 seconds to make his decision, and as around seven seconds remained, he called as the slightly bigger stack.
Quentin Weber: 9♥9♦
Yanfeng Wang: K♣K♦
Weber had leapfrogged the kings by improving to a set on the turn. Wang, while behind, still had plenty of outs with his flush and straight draws along with the two kings still in the deck.
The 3♠ however kept Weber in front and he left Wang with just a few thousand.
Wang would only survive for a few more hands before being eliminated.
