on the turn, Avi Cohen bets 50,000 from the big blind, and Bob Slezak moves all in for 299,000. Cohen goes into the tank for about five minutes. His first question, as soon as Slezak moves in, is "Do you have aces again?" Slezak has already had aces in at least three different all-in situations. Slezak lets him off the hook after a while, saying, "I'll give you some help. I do not have two aces."
Cohen is talking to himself a lot. "Is my pocket pair bigger than yours?" "Is this the second biggest donkey play of the tournament?"
Cohen asks, "Do you want a call?" Slezak responds, "I have a standard answer for that. I want you to call if I'm ahead, and fold if I'm behind." Cohen shrugs off this answer and says, "The question is, do I believe you?"
As a last-ditch effort, Cohen asks, "Will you show me if I fold?" Slezak doesn't move, and doesn't answer.
After about four minutes, Cohen asks the dealer, "Can I call the clock on myself?" She says yes, but several players also jump in with, "I'll call the clock!"
A floorperson is there in seconds, and begins the one-minute clock. Cohen never makes a decision, and when the floorperson counts to zero, his hand is declared dead.
He asks Slezak to show his hand one more time, but Slezak mucks his cards as he collects the pot, increasing his stack to about 500,000.
Cohen still has a healthy stack of about 968,000, but he's probably still thinking about this hand.
