Vazquez Folds After Lengthy Tank

There was already 5,900,000 in the middle when big blind Jason James bet 3,000,000 on a 8♣2♦4♠ flop. Luis Vazquez sat in middle position and called to see the Q♦ on the turn.

This was enough for James to go all in for 12,025,000 which was more than Vazquez had behind. He sat on a stack of 10,675,000 and needed to make a decision for his tournament life.

Vazquez went deep into the tank and thought about it for multiple minutes. At some point he got up from his chair to drink water and when he sat down again he let go of his hand.
