Tough Decision for Hamby

With 36,000 in the pot through the turn on a {5-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{A-Clubs} board, Jared Hamby checked from the small blind and his opponent on the button moved all in for more than 50,000! Hamby had a decent stack of 32,000 behind and was put to the test.

Hamby tanked for a solid three minutes, oftentimes visibly shaking. Clearly this was a tough decision and a crucial point in his tournament. He must have decided there would be a better spot as Hamby eventually laid down his hand.
