I believe the dealer is supposed to inform the supervisor who is confirming the high hand board that the player violated rule 19 "Anyone found to be in violation of the integrity of these promotions, shall be disqualified. This includes slow rolling or slow playing to get to the next time period.", but that never happens. It is an awful position to put the dealer in. Their income is derived from tips.
Making a determination that someone slow played to get to the next period is subjective. How much time needs to pass before anyone can be 100% sure the player is waiting for next time period instead of legitimately deciding their most +EV action?
I have called clock on people in this exact situation, but I am by far in the minority. I was not at the table for this one. At the tables the next day the player who won the $5K was very happy to share the entire story including "3 minute tank that everyone knew what has happening" with anyone that would listen.
Rules that are unenforceable and\or unworkable are meaningless.
