Barney Boatman is apparently saying between 30 & 60 seconds. Whatever. I think the real point here is that Mr. Greenstein realised he'd played the hand incorrectly (raising after the check committed him to the hand). I don't know about you, but when playing poker even the most savage bad beat does not compare to *me* making an avoidable mistake and being punished for it. In front of the computer screen the obvious reaction is to drop kick the cat, drink a quart of drain cleaner and shove red hot wire under your fingernails. In live tournaments these props are not (yet) available, hence Mr. Greenstein attempting to shift the blame and drop kick Simon 'the cat' Trumper. And the psychological reason why the time felt so long and he saw a slowroll.
