Kitai Spends A LOT of Time in the Tank Against Duhamel

We've seen some epic tanks in our day, and Davidi Kitai's recent one is up there. When we arrived Kitai was in the tank with around 30,000 pulled into the pot on a board reading 
.
His opponent, Team PokerStars Pro Jonathan Duhamel, had moved all in with the bigger stack, and Kitai was debating what to do with his remaining 21,500. We're not sure how long Kitai was thinking about it before we arrived, but we do know that he spent ten minutes in the tank while we stood idly by.
"Will you show me if I fold?" Kitai eventually asked. Duhamel, who remained fixated in the same pose, did not answer.
Eventually someone called time on Kitai, which gave him one more minute to act. The floorman, Luca, counted down the clock, and Kitai stared at Duhamel during the last ten seconds.
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Kitai did not call. The clock expired and his hand was ruled dead. He then showed he had been taking so much time with the 
for trips. Duhamel declined to show his cards.
Meanwhile, as that hand was playing out a short-stacked Sorel Mizzi, who was crippled earlier in the day by Vanessa Selbst, was eliminated from the tournament.
