The club is empty. The first wallet through the door pays 2,000 $LASTCLUB, starts the clock at 10:00 and is last in until somebody follows.
Seven wallets enter, 2,000 each: the pot is 14,000. The seventh walks in with 9:41 left on the clock, which jumps back to 10:00. Nobody follows for ten minutes. The seventh takes 14,000 and paid 2,000 to be there. A new night opens at zero.
