Moolhuizen Can't Call
Before the flop a player opened, Andrea Cortellazzi made the call, and Mateusz Moolhuizen on the button over called.
Both players checked to Moolhuizen on and the Dutchman bet 18,000. The initial raiser folded. Cortellazzi made the call. Both players checked the on the turn and the completed the board. Cortellazzi grabbed his stack of yellow 25,000 chips, and plummeted them in front of him just over the line.
Moolhuizen, having to decide for the nearly 200,000 he still had left (33 big blinds), was kind of sweating. He had a tough decision and after some time, Cortellazzi called the clock.
Ok sir, you have one minute"
"Will you show if I fold?" Moolhuizen asked. "No" was the simple answer by Cortellazzi.
"You want a call?" Moolhuizen asked next. No answer this time.
"Thirty seconds sir" the floor informed Moolhuizen after some more thinking.
"Where are you from?" Moolhuizen continued his interrogation. "Italy" cooperated Cortellazzi. "You?" the Italian asked. "Holland" Moolhuizen answered.
"Ten seconds sir" and the floor started the countdown. "Ten, nine,..."
"You like Holland?" Moolhuizen asked. Cortellazzi made a motion with his hand to indicate he had no particular opinion on The Netherlands as a country.
"Eight, seven, six, five,..."
Moolhuizen was still doubting what to do.
"Four, three, two,..."
Moolhuizen had some chips in his hand to be able to call at the last moment, but didn't. He slid his cards forward with one second to go and continued with his 33 big blind stack.
