In the previous level, Yassine Baqa raised to 600,000 from under the gun, finding Enis Rouissi who defended in the big blind.
Rouissi check-called a bet of 650,000 from Baqal on the 5♦3♦8♦ flop.
The A♥ turn saw Rouissi check again. Baqal bet out 1,225,000 and Rouissi clicked it back to 2,500,000, sending Baqal into the tank.
Baqal was thinking for so long that the clock was eventually called giving him thirty seconds to act, ultimately prompting him to fold.
By the time the hand had played to its conclusion, the players were now nine and a half minutes into the new level.
