Eldar-ing

[user46298]

A hand just now snowballed into what could have been a huge all-in confrontation...but it didn't. It was pretty interesting anyway: Talal Shakerchi raised in late position, threebet instantly by David Eldar in the small blind. Big blind Johan Van Til started thinking, now, and after a while made it 6,275. Shakerchi instantly passed, but Eldar went into the tank. And stayed there.

He sat silently staring straight ahead for ages. He chip shuffled, and stared. Sami Kelopuro came over and held a Finn convention with Ilari Sahamies and Jani Sointula (I only understood the occasional word like 'straight' coming from them). They chatted for a while and Kelopuro left.

Eldar carried on thinking.

Juanda said to Sahamies: "Long day, no party for you tonight, unless we play fast."
Sahamies replied, "We can drink now also."

Finally Eldar made a decision and pushed his whole stack in. Van Til mucked instantly.
