Haven't seen that before. What's block 816977? A stale block?

It was mined very quickly after the block before it.

When pools receive a new block, they immediately send out an empty block template to miners so they can start mining on top of that block right away instead of idling while a block template full of transactions is being generated & sent.

It's better to win a block with 0 transaction fees than to have idle miners.
