The players have just been sent on a 75-minute dinner break, with play scheduled to get back underway at approximately 8:45 p.m. local time.
Around 20,000 was in the middle on a board of 4♦9♣K♦2♦ in a hand between Axel Gold-Dalg, playing with his brother as an assistant for eyesight issues, and Laurent Herledan.
Herledan checked to Gold-Dalg, who slid out a bet of 11,000. Hereldan responded with a check-jam for 43,500, almost precisely the same stack as his opponent, sending Gold-Dalg deep into the tank.
Gold-Dalg looked pained at times as he pondered his decision for around five minutes, puffing his cheeks and counting his chips. With the tension building, Gold-Dalg smiled and said "Now I would really like my eyes", sending the entire table into raptures.
After a couple more minutes, a table mate asked Gold-Dalg if the clock would help him make a decision, and Gold-Dalg confirmed it probably would.
The clock was called, and with about ten seconds remaining, Gold-Dalg announced fold while turning over K♣K♥ for top set.
Herledan was astounded and turned over 5♦6♦ for the turned flush, with the entire table sending Gold-Dalg their congratulations for a superb fold, including Hereledan.
