With around 200,000 already in the pot and the board reading [Qc8h6c10d8c], Robert Thompson bets 105,000 from the big blind and Vivek Rajkumar goes in the tank.
After a while, Thompson calls the clock on Rajkumar.
Rajkumar is surprised. "How long have I been tanking?"
"About two minutes," tablemate Joris Springael tells him.
Rajkumar is surprised by that as well. "That’s it?"
"It feels like a long time," Thompson says.
"Well, it is kind of a big bet," Rajkumar tells him. He thinks a little while longer and calls.
Thompson shows [AsQs] for queens and eights with an ace kicker. Rajkumar opts to show just one card–the [3c].
Robert Thompson – 685,000
Vivek Rajkumar – 500,000
