Apter Prevails in Cagey Encounter
A player opened to 900 from early position and was called by James Kraetz in middle position as well as a player in the cutoff. Brett Apter then three-bet to 4,300 on the button with the blinds quickly getting out of the way to send the action back to the early position player. He decided to four-bet to 11,900 which was met by prompt folds from Kraetz and the cutoff but not Apter who, after some deliberation, flatted.
The table had been quite chatty prior to the hand but as the two players went heads-up to the flop with a big pot brewing, all previous conversation died away. The early position player led out for 7,000 after the flop came 
and Apter decided to make the call.
The 
turn saw the early position player check to Apter and he, after a fair amount of time, bet out 7,500. That sent the early position player deep into the tank but, with a slight sigh, he eventually mucked to send a decently large pot Apter's way.
