Aces Cracked
Daniel Norton raised to 4,000 from early position, which was met by a three-bet to 11,000 from Thomas Gisler in the hijack. Matthieu Burguiere then put in a four-bet to 23,000 on the button.
The action returned to Norton, who went deep into the tank. Minutes passed as the tortured-looking tried to come to a decision. A little bit more time went by before another player called the clock. Norton verbalised that this was more than fair, as he was taking a long time, his time to make a decision then expired, killing his hand.
Action back to Gisler, who made the call.
The dealer put out a K♣3♦5♣ flop, which saw Burguiere continue for 8,000 and Gisler check-raise all in for 33,000, which Burguiere called.
Thomas Gisler: 5♥5♦ 
Matthieu Burguiere: A♠A♦
It was bad news for Burguiere, who had been outflopped. There was no reprieve as the board was completed with the 2♠ turn and the K♦ river, seeing the pot pushed towards Gisler.
Norton then let the table know he folded ace-king.
