While the hand played out and Alexandru Grigorie check-called the 
turn for 17,000, Neshan Khourshoudian and Matas Cimbolas were engaged in table chat. Cimbolas left up for guessing where he was from and then concluded that he might be a donkey.
Khourshoudian insisted that donkeys are smart animals that learn quickly, for Cimbolas to figure out who the biggest donkey in the room might be. The hand also had an end, as Grigorie checked through the 
river and the Romanian won the pot with the 
for the second pair.
