Timoshenko Takes One From Polychronopoulos

[user198205]

Action folded to Athanasios Polychronopoulos in the small blind who called. Yevgeniy Timoshenko was in the big blind and decided to check his option. The flop came {k-Spades} {10-Clubs} {7-Clubs} and Polychronopoulos check-called a bet of 80,000 from Timoshenko. The turn brought the {k-Diamonds} and Polychronopoulos again check-called a bet from Timoshenko, this time for 210,000. When the {j-Hearts} hit on the river Polychronopoulos checked once more and Timoshenko bet 450,000.

In what we have now dubbed the "level of long hands," Polychronopoulos went into the tank for a good five minutes, counting out the chips to make the call over and over again before eventually folding his hand.

With this much money and a gold bracelet at stake, it's no wonder that these players are taking their time in making decisions.
