Adrian Mateos was on the button when we got to his table and facing a raise to 130,000 from small blind Dietrich Fast. Mateos came back with 310,000 and Fast called after some thought.

The flop came and Fast check-called 180,000. The turn was a and both players checked. The river: . Fast bet 500,000. Mateos tanked a few minutes and then announced he was all in. Fast took his own turn in the tank, and Mateos called a clock after a couple of minutes. The tournament supervisor came over.

"I don't think it's been enough time," Fast said. "This is the biggest pot of the tournament."

The tournament supervisor evidently agreed to some extent, as he told Fast he was going to wait another minute and then put him on the clock. Fast took all the time he could, and as the tournament supervisor was about to hit zero, he dropped in calling chips.

Mateos turned over . Fast mucked what the dealer revealed to be . Mateos had just over 880,000, and Fast was covered by about 10,000, so gathered his belongings to exit.
