We didn't see when the money went in, but we came upon the aftermath of an all-in pot between big blind Ryan Van Sanford and Brian Green in late position. The board had ran 
and Van Sanford's stack was just over 36,000. His 
had triumphed over Green's 
and Green shipped most of his stack.

. Bond tanked for a good three minutes at least, and then slammed in some chips to call. His opponent moved his hands away from where they were clasped in front of his mouth and turned over

That caused the player in middle position to rock back in shock, and Bond collected the pot.
