Pavel in No Hurry
Level 22
: 10,000/20,000, 2,000 ante
Ion Pavel opened for 46,000 and Richard Toth made it 110,000 to go from the cutoff. Back to Pavel, who tanked up long enough for whole continents to rearrange themselves. Entire species became extinct before Pavel flat-called.
The flop came down and Pavel checked. Toth bet 135,000, and Pavel settled back into the tank for even longer this time. Wrinkles started to form on the attendant bloggers' faces and hands. The rest of the room zipped by as if on fast-forward. The other players at the table started flashing glances at the rail as if they might be able to do something about it. But eventually Pavel folded, and the pot went to Toth.
