A Chip and Only Ten Seconds to Act
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
The action was underway with Weizheng Zhong, one 25,000-chip behind, checking the flop of K♣A♦6♦ and around 5,000,000 in the pot. The tournament director who was timing the action told Zhong that he had ten seconds to act, after Mark Ellerbe, on the button threw in a 25,000 chip bet.
Zhong teasingly asked, "I only have ten seconds?" He then threw in his last chip for a call.
Weizheng Zhong: K♥9♦ 
Mark Ellerbe: J♣J♠
Zhong needed less than ten seconds to double up after the dealer completed the board with a 2♦9♥ runout. Zhong scooped the pot happy to continue his tournament run.
