I've seen it happen twice in the same year in the open section of the World Open. Both involved the weaker side trying to claim a no-losing-chances draw in sudden death. In both cases a delay clock was inserted into the game, and the opponent went on to win. (as per the World Open rules, the TD's like to insert a delay clock rather than deny a claim outright).
