Time, Time, Time

You see some weird things in poker tournaments. What started out as a standard hand involving Maria Ho got funky at the river. Four playres limped into the pot and took a flop of {6-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {5-Hearts}. Ho, first to act, checked. The next player bet 500. Ho was the only caller.

On the {Q-Hearts} turn, Ho led into her opponent for 750. He made a thoughtful call. Ho fired another 1,150 on the {J-Hearts} river, creating a total pot of 4,450. Her opponent had most of his starting stack of 30,000 behind, yet he proceeded to tank for almost 5 full minutes over a seemingly small decision. A clock was finally called and counted almost all the way down before the player folded.
