Danny Grogan had done the 'virtual all-in' where he left a single chip behind and pushed the rest of his stack of 375,000 into the middle but then Kai Müller who covered moved all in for real.
The action folded back around to Grogan who then went into the tank, trying to secure a pay jump.
After a minute or so, the clock was called and he was given a 30-second countdown. As his clock reached zero, he flicked in the chip and flipped over A♣J♠.
Müller then laughed and also flipped over A♦J♣, much to the table's amusement.
Neither player had an opportunity to hit a flush on the runout and the pot was quickly chopped up between the two.
Ironically, Grogan's plan actually worked as he did secure a pay jump during this ordeal.

Tzu Yen opened to 85,000 from under the gun and was called by Mateusz Moolhuizen on the button. The big blind took some time to fold but eventually got out of the way and the duo went to a flop of 10♦8♦4♥.
Yen continued for 75,000 and Moolhuizen made the call to see the 10♥ on the turn. Yen then bombed it by setting out a stack of 100,000-chips to cover Moolhuizen, who then went into the tank.
After some thought, Moolhuizen winced as he made the fold to award the pot to Yen.
"I hope you didn't just have a flush draw," Moolhuizen said to him.
"I did, actually," Yen laughed. "Ace-king of diamonds".
