The Muck: 19-Minute Tank at the WSOP Main Event Final Table
With millions of dollars at stake, it's reasonable for players at the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event final table to take their time to think when facing a difficult decision. But poker Twitter wasn't so understanding when eventual runner-up Adrian Attenborough tanked for 19 minutes in one hand before folding nothing but a pair of fours during heads-up play.
In the newest installment of The Muck, we take a look at the hand that tilted many on social media.
Attenborough, an Aussie, lost a heads-up match against Norway's Espen Jorstad with the world title on the line. During that fairly brief battle, the runner-up faced two all-in wagers from Jorstad, and both times he went into a lengthy tank with the hand often referred to as "flat tire."
