Razvan Belea eyeballed the stack of Konstantin Held when it had folded to him in the big blind and then pushed all-in when the German revealed he held ten big blinds behind.
Held grasped his time banks and started using them with ten in total at his disposal on a pay jump. As he glanced over to the live-streamed feature table, he started some banter.
"I want to use this time to give you an important message," he commenced before cracking a smile. Among other persons, he thanked his seventh grade biology teacher and then looked over at the feature table again when the sixth time bank was used.
"What is going on there?" he asked and Mehdi Chaoui replied back "just call it off man" to which Held added "I will, in twenty seconds" which he then indeed did.

Razvan Belea:

Following the elimination of Sven Stok, Brian Delaney was moved to the outer table and got immediately involved in a huge hand that's seen him double up, leaving Day 3 chip leader Konstantin Held on fumes.
