We caught the action on the river with a {6-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} board showing and about 70,000 chips already in the pot. The action was on Munir Shahin who bet 37,000 after Matt Vengrin had checked to him.

"Well, this really sucks," Vengrin sighed as he was faced with a big decision. "Will you show me if I fold?" Vengrin asked his opponent.

"I can't promise anything," Shahin replied with a smile.

"Any advice, since I can't phone a friend?" Vengrin asked, but Shahin had nothing to offer.

"What do you think I have?" Vengrin continued after a while, as the clock kept ticking.

"I don't know man, I'm not a very good player like you," Shahin responded.

"Oh stop it," Vengrin said, "Now you're just trying to flatter me."

"Sorry for taking so long guys, but this is a real decision and I will show my hand either way," Vengrin continued as he had taken well over five minutes.

Eventually Vengrin tossed in the call and Shahin turned over {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a flopped set. Vengrin showed his {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts} and his hand ended up in the muck.
