Tank Tank Tank Fold for Vamplew
David Vamplew raised his now standard minimum 120,000 and Kyle Bowker called in the big blind before checking the flop and then calling the 145,000 continuation bet from Vamplew.
The turn was the and this time Bowker bet out 375,000. Vamplew tanked up for a couple minutes before eventually pushing the call across the line.
They arrived at the river, and this time Bowker pushed out a bet of 1.1 million, before sinking into expressionless inaction.
Then commenced an epic dwell from Vamplew.
He pulled a face, and then for a couple minutes rubbed his hands together, as the cameras zoomed in so close on his face that we thought they might knock his glasses off. Still he tanked.
Four or five minutes passed, and across the table John Juanda yawned. Tom Marchese seemed to have already fallen asleep, and Fernando Brito got up from the table and wandered off. Vamplew pulled another face, but continued to tank.
Kayvan Payman got out his phone and started fiddling with it. Artur Wasek looked around, perhaps wishing that he spoke more English so he could at least have a conversation with someone. Brito came back, only to discover that he couldn't get to his seat because it was now being blocked by a cameraman. Still Vamplew tanked.
And then he folded.
Vamplew - 3.3 million
Bowker - 7.7 million
