There was an open before Thomas Ward three-bet to 7,200. It folded back to the original raiser, who under-raised, but it was finally established that his bet was 11,400. Ward then five-bet shoved for around 20,000. The original raiser tanked for a bit too long, as the clock was called on him before he eventually called.
