Luca Pagano, who knows what it's like to be EPT Player of the Year, also knows what it's like to lose a big pot in the fourth level to a young Norwegian sat on your left.

In a small blind vs. big blind pot, they'd built a 17,500 pot around a board of {4-Hearts} {9-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {8-Hearts} . Luca bet out 8,000 and that's how it stood for ages - young Norwegian vs. this bet, staring at it.

After about a minute and a half, young Norwegian counted out the call, but then pushed his whole stack in - 14,550 on top of the 8k. Back to Pagano, who took his turn in the still-as-a-rock tank. The table waited patiently for a good while as Pagano came to a decision and gave up that large pot.
