Slow Rolling with Quads
Level 23
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Steffen Sontheimer limped with the 
and called when Fedor Holz, who held the 
, three-bet to 190,000.
Holz then bet 125,000 on the 
flop and Sontheimer called. Holz kept the pressure on with a bet of 310,000 on the 
turn, and Sontheimer called with trips.
When the 
appeared on the river, Holz moved all in and Sontheimer, who made quads, hesitated for nearly 30 seconds. He is good friends with Holz, and it was apparent the slow roll was done in fun rather than with malice aforethought.
Eventually Sontheimer called off and showed Holz the winner.
