"We're not playing ping pong here." responded Levesque.
"We'll give you a count and then the clock will start." said the tournament staff member.
Levesque was informed that the all-in bet was for 390,500 total and then the clock began to run. The floor staff counted all the way down to the last second before declaring Levesque's hand dead.
