Cardyn Climbs Up the Counts

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

We joined the action on a {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} board where Nicolas Cardyn had checked from the big blind. Brandon Meyers, who was in the under the gun seat, set the price to play at 1,600. Cardyn sat staring into nothingness brought his focus back to his chip stack and he check-raised to 4,375 in total. Meyers took his time — around 60 seconds — before he made the call.

The river brought the {A-Hearts} into play and Cardyn sat riffling chips for the best part of 90-seconds. He stopped riffling only to grab chips worth 8,700, which he toppled over as he bet. Meyers glanced at Cardyn, then at the reporters who were jotting down the details of the hand, before mucking his hand after close to two minute's thinking time.
