Earlier we reported on a hand between Team Pokerstars Pro Max Lykov and an opponent where neither player looked at each other once throughout the entire hand. People are different and we all have different styles. Take this hand for example over at Table 3.
A player opened from early position to 400 and two people called behind including Roberto Romanello. Mike Binger was in the big blind and also made the call. The flop was 
and the original raiser made the continuation bet, making it 750 to play. The action folded around to Binger in the big blind and he made the call. The turn was the 
and the original raiser fired a second barrel making it 2,750. Binger went into the tank and stared straight into the raiser. The raiser stared straight back into BInger. For a long time the two of them refused to break their connection until the player in seat 1 indicated to the Dealer that he should hurry them up.
"Give them more time, it has not been that long." Said Romanello.
Not long after Binger, not even breaking off his stare, called the bet.
The river was 
and both players, still staring into each other, checked.
The original raiser showed 
and Binger quietly mucked his hand.
