After nearly four full minutes Hou calls for a clock.  The floor approaches and Hou says he called the clock on himself and the floor says, "Oh, ok. You have a minute to act or your hand will be declared dead."

The floor starts counting down the last ten seconds and Hou announces a call, turning over AA♣.

Lind is visibly shocked as he turns over K♠Q for a pair of kings.  The 8♠ river does not change the hand and Hou is awarded a huge double up.

"I'm sorry," Hou says very genuinely, "It was a very difficult call for me."
