The flop read {10-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} and Eric Baldwin was heads up in middle position against an unknown opponent in the small blind. The small blind was first to act and he patted the felt for a check. Baldwin on the other hand bet, and made it 3,400. The small blind then raised and made it 7,500. Baldwin sat completely still and thought for a good 30 seconds before making the call.

The {k-Hearts} on the turn saw the little blind tank for a little bit then check. Action then moved to the again motionless Baldwin and after another 30 seconds or so he grabbed a handful of chips and neatly placed a bet of 11,000. A minute or two went by of the small blind thinking before he eventually threw his cards away.
