Victor Ramdin raised to 6,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Yde van Deutekom in the cutoff and he reraised to 18,000. When action got back to Ramdin, he instantly made it 63,000 to play and van Deutekom went into the tank.
After about four minutes, the clock was called and van Deutekom made the call. The flop came and Ramdin checked. Van Deutekom bet 45,000 and Ramdin called.
The turn fell the and Ramdin moved all in. He had van Deutekom well covered and the bet put van Deutekom into the tank once more.

Ramdin:

With around seven minutes left in the level, our clock decided it was time to go to break and jumped straight to the break. The whole room came alive with chatter as everyone was trying to figure out if it was break time or not. The floor staff were quick to jump on the issue and let everyone know that this wasn't a break, just that the clock had skipped.
The clock is tired, it wanted an early break. Now it will have to wait a few more minutes.

Jani Vilmunen faced a raise to 13,000 that he reraised another 32,400. His opponent then raised another 70,000 on top and that caused Vilmunen to go in to the tank. He sat there for nearly ten minutes thinking over his decision then folded face-up.
He asked his opponent not to reveal his hand and he didn't. The rest of the table seemed to agree it was a good lay-down though.

Phil Hellmuth just stood up from his chair and searched the rail for his lovely wife. When he found her a few tables away, he also found a listening ear:
"Honey. Honey, they dealt me ace-king and they dealt him aces. I mean, c'mon..." He turned to walk away, then looked over his shoulder to add, "I got away immediately, but it cost me twenty thousand."
