Phil Tom Advances to Round 2
. Tom checked, Kirsch bet 20,000, Tom minimum-reraised to 40,000, and Kirsch pushed the rest of his chips in the middle, about 65,000 total. Tom, with over 500,000 chips, only had to commit a small amount to make the call. But he didn't act right away. A minute passed. Then two. Then seven. That's right, seven.
Finally Tom said "Well, what are you going to do?" "The action is on you," replied Kirsch. "Oh!" said Tom, "I call."
