Ryan Riess raised from the cutoff for 350,000, leaving himself with just 10,000 behind. Action folded to the button where Jason Koon just called.

and Riess used the entirety of his 30 seconds before checking. Koon checked behind quickly.
On the 
turn, Riess repeated the process of waiting 30 seconds then checking. Koon checked behind quickly.
