He Who Hesitates Gets Half

Level 5

Pot-Limit Omaha

Michael Glick raised to 2,000 from middle position, and Ismael Bojang called from the cutoff. Then Erick Lindgren reraised small to 3,500 from the button. The big blind called, as did both Glick and Bojang.

The four players saw the flop come {9-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and all checked. The turn was the {A-Diamonds}. It checked to Bojang who bet 7,500, and only Lindgren called.

The river was the {10-Hearts}. Bojang thought for about 15 seconds, then checked, and after taking about the same amount of time, Lindgren checked as well.

Lindgren turned over his hand first — {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs} — then Bojang showed {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Hearts} and they were chopping the pot as both had aces and kings.

"I should have bet," said Bojang afterwards. "I should have bet," echoed Lindgren, and both laughed at the lost opportunity.
