Split The Pot and Carry On
A crazy hand just went down on the casino floor between Man Hei Lam and Nicholas Galtos. The action started when Lam raised to 600 under the gun and Chris Moorman decided to three-bet to 1,425 one seat over. Galtos was sitting to the left of Moorman and he four-bet to 2,425.
The action was quickly folded back to Lam who took some time before five-betting to 4,950. Moorman also took some time to make up his mind and his answer ended up being fold. Galtos extended the preflop action by another minute before he decided to make the call.
The flop rolled out 
and Lam fired out a small 3,000-chip bet. Galtos tanked and then raised it up to 8,000. Now it was Lam's turn again to think and he ultimately decided to move all in. Galtos still didn't seem sure what to do as he took another 30 seconds before making the call.
