Trickett Avoids Showdown with Shaffer

Level 13 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Brett Shaffer opened from middle position with a raise to 4,200. Trickett called from the button and the two played the hand heads up.

When the flop fell {k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, Shaffer thought for a minute and continued with 6,700. Trickett also took his time in making the call.

The turn was the {J-Hearts} and after another minute or two we had checks by both players.

The river paired the board with the {4-Spades}. It seemed unclear to some players and even the dealer but Shaffer had checked and Trickett moved all in. After about five minutes of no one wanting to break the silence, the action was figured out and Shaffer finally let go of his hand.

All told, the hand took about ten minutes. Trickett didn't seem to mind though. He mounted the chips into his chip-leading 188,000 stack.
