At ten minutes before the end of the level, all players were instructed to play four more hands.
Most finished in a timely manner. However, over on table four, Jason DeWitt was in the tank. The board read A♠7♥2♥5♠T♥ and the player in seat one had bet 9,650. Jason thought for about 10 minutes. All the other players were done bagging and tagging and had left the room.
