Nick Petrangelo opened to 4,000 and Richard Yong - a new entrant at the start of play today - three-bet all in for 50,000.
It folded back to Petrangelo who...did nothing.
"We've got him!" said tablemate Mikita Badziakouski who was sat to Yong's direct left.
"I've got nine timebanks," said Petrangelo, pondering his decision.
"Me too," said Yong, "But I don't need them. Here, you have them." He threw his timebanks into the middle as well. Petrangelo eventually folded.
"I've never used one," continued Yong. "I will learn how to use them!"
