Once someone has called for a clock the floor person has to be called over, they'll inform the player that they have one minute to act and then count it down for them.  Their hand is dead if they still haven't made a decision after that time.
 
Players aren't allowed to call for the clock unless a "reasonable" amount of time has passed already though.  You can't call it if the person's only been thinking for 20 seconds.
 
As for white_lytning's situation... ouch, that's brutal.  Massive dealer incompetence FTL.
 
Once there's been action on the jack (like your opponent's bet) it can't be taken back.  Plus there's not really much that can be done to fix it anyway because the jack [I]is[/I] the correct river card and there's no real way around that.  If he'd failed to burn or burned two cards by accident it's a different story.
 
And I'm sorry to say it, but you got just plain angle shot with the river bet, there's not really much the dealer can do about it.  Particularly in a messy situation like that, never turn your cards up until the dealer asks you to.
 
Dealers make mistakes.  I know I make them sometimes.  But the way this one was handled sounds really bad.
