Kevin Choe (right) raises under the gun to 25,000, and WPT Champions Club member Jordan Cristos (left) calls from the big blind.
The flop comes [9c4h2s], Cristos checks, Choe bets 24,000, and Cristos tanks for a while before he check-raises to 80,000. Choe calls.
The turn is the [3h], Cristos tanks for a while before he bets 100,000, and Choe calls.
The river card is the [Qs], and Cristos tanks for a while before he moves all in. Now it’s Choe’s turn to stop and think, and he tanks for a long time before he eventually folds, forfeiting the pot to Cristos.
Jordan Cristos – 1,015,000 (84 bb)
Kevin Choe – 371,000 (30 bb)
From beginning to end, this hand extended more than 10 minutes.
