Wade Goes Deep Into Tank

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 60 ante

We found this hand unfolding as Andrea Vezzani moved all in on the turn against Tristian Wade. The pot was already between 60,000 and 70,000. The board was {4-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {2-Clubs} and Vezzani's bet was 226,000 - enough to cover Wade.

Wade went deep into the tank, almost five whole minutes. Wade sighed and finally relinquished his hand. Vezzani exposed his {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} and Wade looked sick. "I almost made one of the sickest calls in my life. I just tanked with {A-} {2-}."

Wade apologized to his table for tanking so long.
