Cada vs Engel: Tank It Out

Level 11 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

We just witnessed one of the biggest and longest pots of the tournament, ending in a 10 minute tank-fold by Ari Engel against Joe Cada.

The action started preflop, where Cada raised for 1,600 and Engel called.

The flop came {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, and Cada bet out around 25,000 and Engel called. The turn was the {k-Clubs}, and Cada lead out again with an 8,000 bet--Engel called again.

The river was a confusing {5-Clubs}, since Cada checked, Engle now bet 6,800, and Cada reraised 42,000 all-in. Engel tanked for at least 5 minutes before finally releasing the hand, losing nearly 40,000 chips in the process.
