The tournament clock was frozen earlier for a period of ten minutes or so during one of the first hands back from break, as officials sorted through a decision.
Earlier in the day, Farid Jattin moved to raise the pot by grabbing his blind chip back before placing out the additional bet. The action was contested though, and after Tournament Director Tab Duchateau heard both sides and watched Jattin recreate his motion, the ruling was that he had called the bet rather than raise.
On one of the first hands back from dinner break, Jattin made the same motion - reaching out with raising chips in hand, grabbing his blind bet and pulling it back, and then placing the raising stack forward. The action was contested yet again, it took further consultation and a review of the video evidence to determine if Jattin had raised or called.
In the end, Duchateau's original ruling stood as precedent, and Jattin was forced to simply call rather than raise.
The clock is running again though and the table has moved on, contesting mostly small pots for the last orbit or two while the ten final table members begin the process of feeling one another out.
