With Oppenheim and his 130,000-plus chip stack being covered by Bord, he went deep into the tank for several minutes.
"I've worked it all the way back up to 135,000 and now I have a very big hand. And for some reason I don't wanna call!" stated Oppenheim.
"How much do you have? Just approximate." asked Bord.
"220, 230 maybe." responded Bord as Oppenheim stood up to continue his lengthy deliberation.
"40, 50, 80?" Oppenheim asked in reference to the payout structure as a few players nodded accordingly.
Several more minutes went by before Oppenheim announced call.
"I didn't see how many chips you had. I made a mistake!" stated Bord as each player flipped their hand over.
