Clock Called on Palmer

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

We happened upon the action with around 30,000 in the pot and a board reading {9-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}. Ryan Laplante had bet a pair of T25,000 chips from the big blind and Ben Palmer, who was on the button, was debating what to do with the 41,000 he had back.

Minutes passed before Palmer said that someone was welcome to call clock. About a minute later, Laplante obliged and called the clock. The floor arrived and gave Palmer 30 seconds to act with the last five seconds being counted down.

5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Fold.

The timer expired on Palmer and his hand was dead. Laplante then showed just the {a-Clubs} before pulling in the pot.
