The Tortoise and the Tank
Level 22
: 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Alan Percal raised to 35,000 from the hijack, and John Gallaher called in the small blind.
Action checked down to the river of a 
board, where Gallaher bet 50,000. Percal raised to 160,000, and Gallaher shoved for 344,000, having Percal covered by just 8,000.
As Percal went into the tank, Gallaher slipped his hoodie over his head, until just a tuft of hair was sticking out of the top. Percal tanked for four minutes before finally folding, telling Gallaher, "You can come out. Nice hand."
