He was heads up to the turn of a board and faced a 4,500 bet from an opponent sat under-the-gun.

With the on the board and already a decent amount of chips in the pot, Pierre Neuville bet 5,550. He was called by his only opponent Laurent Polito to see the turn.

It seemed a bit too long for one of the players at the table and he called the clock on Neuville. Neuville was given one minute to act and before the time ran out, he opted to fold his cards.
