Long Split Pot
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Vlad Murgulet opened to 160,000 from the hijack, then saw Gheorghe Butuc three-bet to 680,000 in the big blind.
For more than two minutes, Murgulet struggled to make a decision, but he eventually called. He went into the tank again on the flop 4♣J♥3♣, after Butuc bet 350,000. But once again, Murgulet called.
Butuc slowed down on the turn 9♣ by checking. But it didn't make it easier for Murgulet, who still took a long time to check back.
Finally, the 7♥ landed on the river and both players checked quickly. But as they both had AxKx, they split the pot.
