Zubov Put in the Blender By Nashar
A full board of 2♠A♣J♦9♥Q♠ was showing and with around 500,000 in there already, Hassan Nashar had fired 425,000 on the river from the small blind. Alexander Zubov was in the big blind and contemplating how to proceed with his stack of around the size of Nashar's bet.
"What two pair do you have?" asked Nashar to Zubov.
Zubov was burning through his time banks until Nashar reminded him that he only had one left. When the countdown got to 10 seconds, Nashar took over the dealer's job.
"10, 9, 8..." Nashar continued until it hit zero, then he took his bet back and dragged in the pot as Zubov's hand was dead.
It wasn't all bad news for Zubov, as in the next hand Aleksei Gortikov raise the cutoff to 45,000 and Zubov shoved the small blind. Gortikov folded when it got back to him, and Zubov's stack climbed a little.
