Li Jiang Liu (pictured) raises to 25,000 under the gun and gets a call from Yanfeng Wang on the button.

On the Spade QSpade 9Spade 2 flop, Liu takes his time before betting 20,000. After a bit of thought himself, Wang makes the call.

The turn brings the Heart K and after just under two minutes, Liu bets 70,000. Wang thinks for a bit as well, then makes the call, leaving about 210,000 chips behind, which is slightly covered by Liu.

On the Heart 7 river, Liu hasn’t acted before two and a half minutes have passed, prompting nearby tournament director Matt Savage to issue a 30-second clock to Liu. 

He lets about 15 seconds pass before checking. Wang quickly checks back, and Liu shows Heart AHeart 4 for nothing but ace-high.

Wang shows Diamond ASpade K for a winning pair of kings.

After the hand, another tournament director was seen warning Liu about the amount of time he was taking to make his actions.

Yanfeng Wang – 470,000 (39 bb)
Li Jiang Liu – 460,000 (38 bb)
