Ngoc Minh Hoang was in the small blind and shoved all in upon action folding to him, effectively putting Aliaksei Boika to a decision for the remainder of his chips. Numerous clock calls were overheard from adjacent tables and eventually a player on Boika's table added to the chrous. The floor came over and Boika made the call within his allotted timeframe.
Aliaksei Boika: 
Ngoc Minh Hoang: 
Boika's jacks were way out in front and he had an easy road to a double as the board came 
.
Meanwhile, the floor has just announced that hand-for-hand play will be enacted with 169 players still remaining due to the pace of play slowing down across the 22 tables that are currently in play.
