Mitchell Doubles Through

Dash Dudley counts his chip relentlessly, but it's clear that he'll only have two or three hundred thousand remaining if he calls. His button raise to 135,000 has just been reraised all in by Nicholas Mitchell in the big blind, for a big ol' hefty amount: 1,260,000.

Dudley feigns moving his stack, but then returns to recounting his chips to ensure his calculations were correct. After another minute or two, he nods his head and does indeed push his stack across the line.

As Dudley shows {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}, and Mitchell {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, Mitchell's fans in the crowd shout, "Slowroll!" and chant for, "Jackball, to teach him a lesson for slowrolling." The flop duly obliged: {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, and despite the lesser (or less vocal) Dudley faction requesting a gutshot straight, the turn and river come {6-Spades} and {8-Diamonds} respectively to deliver Mitchell a fortunate double through.

After the pot, the Mitchellites continued to show their disapproval, celebrating raucously and, again, labelling Dudley a slow-roller. Despite being left with a bowl of rice, Dudley remained cucumber cool (although I imagine he was seething inside) and simply continued with the game.
