With the full board reading 4♥Q♦10♦10♣8♥ and approximately 160,000 already in the pot, Florian Gaugusch had 300,000 already committed from the big blind when Maxime Chilaud moved all in from the small blind, comfortably covering him for his last million.
Faced with a decision for his tournament life, Gaugusch went deep into the tank. Eventually, Mason Vieth called the clock, much to the dismay of a few tablemates who felt Gaugusch hadn't been given enough time.
The floor staff arrived and began the countdown. The clock ticked, and Gaugusch's hand was ruled dead as the clock hit zero.
As Chilaud dragged in the pot to climb to around four million in chips, he said to Vieth, "I think because I took so long to raise, it felt like he took a long time."
Gaugusch appeared unfazed by the ruling, simply responding, "I felt like it was just a few minutes."
Vieth, sporting a bright blue hat emblazoned with "The Milkman" across the front, continued, "Y'all never have to call the clock on me. I won't take more than one minute for a decision, I promise." He then capped it off with, "I'm already tilted, I got put on a European table," getting some laughs from the international mix of players at the table.
