Martin Wins Longest Hand in History

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

"Longest hand in history" is probably a bit of an overstatement but this did go on a long time for a hand that did not even make the river. The cutoff had opened preflop and Michael Martin (former EPT London winner) had 3-bet to 1,200 only for the cutoff to 4-bet to 2,750 after a couple of minutes dwell.

It was Martin's turn to think and he also took his time in making the call to see a {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{q-Spades} flop.The cutoff then thought for about 2 minutes more before checking and Martin again thought for a while before firing out 3,500.

A further amount of dwelling.

Finally the cutoff called to see the {5-Hearts} turn and again checked, slightly faster this time (which was a relief). Martin fired out 6,500 and we went back into the tank with the cutoff - the latter eventually having the clock called on him and he finally folded with about 30 seconds remaining.
